Welcome Guests With Festive Porch Planters

Genia’s holiday spirit starts at the front entry, where she plants small spruce trees in white urns and embellishes them with magnolia clippings. Placing an urn on either side of the porch creates a welcoming and well-defined space with a seasonal touch. Draw visitors to the door with a boxwood wreath framed by a garland of spruce, cedar, and boxwood.
