Fresh greens make a good alternative to a potted tree or shrub.
Pack your containers with a heavy soil mix and wet the soil well. Select an assortment of fresh greens and berries from Allisonville Nursery and your own garden. Make a fresh cut on the bottom of the stems and stick in a bucket of water for an hour. This allows the greens a chance to get hydrated before planting. Great fresh greens for winter containers include fraser fir, noble fir, white pine, juniper, western red cedar, boxwood, winterberry holly, and coned cedar.
