12 Festive Container Gardening Ideas

December 8, 2016 by Kasi Smith Leave a Comment

Create a classy and elegant container garden this year by making this gorgeous potted piece! Everything from the container to the actual greenery makes it look incredibly sophisticated. Choose greens like pine needles, and holly that are used to withstanding colder tempertaures.

When you’re talking about gardens in winter, red is one of my favorite colors to use! Go big or go home is what I always say, so make sure you put plenty of red in there.

If you don’t want to make red the dominant color in your containers, then go for a subtler red in your plants (Holly berries are the perfect solution!) You can put the red at the bottom of your container or disperse throughout the bushes for a subtle accent piece.

Ivy is a great plant to use for a festive container garden because it stays green, looks great, and can pull all the other items together. Plus, ivy is to adds a nice accent to any container, really.

Decorate with pinecones and other rustic elements in the container without having to do much work at all. This looks especially good when you can match the container to the color of the pinecone.

I think this look is absolutely stunning! Go for tall and skinny containers that dominate the porch or yard. They really bring in a festive Christmas spirit!

If you have a farmhouse or are going for a rustic feel, then this is the perfect idea for you. Put together a rustic container garden for your home with pinecones, sprigs of gas, and a decorate container.

Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean that everything has to be bland and dead. Add some color and style to your container garden by getting a few flowers in a variety of different colors.

Decorating with ornaments in your containers is a great way to add color but to also help usher in the festive Christmas spirit! You can choose any size, style, or color that works for you. You could even use the ornaments leftover from your interior decorating.

I bet you’ve never thought of adding fruit (real or fake) to your container garden for Christmas! I’m not really sure why fruit is such a festive decoration, but it is, and they look great in your containers!

Go a less traditional route and use a unique container for your festive Christmas decoration. For example, you could use a pair of ice skates and fill them with lush greenery and pinecones.

Add lights to the containers in your yard and porch. You can use white lights, colored lights, or whatever other type you think would be best.
