How to Make An Evergreen Centerpiece Last All Season

  • Buy from a reputable florist or garden center that makes the centerpieces fresh to order.

 

  • The greens are secured in a foam cube that holds water. Add about a half cup of water to the top of the foam every 3-4 days. This will keep the greens moist, cool and fresh.

 

  • Place the centerpiece in a location away from any direct heat sources, air drafts, and direct sunlight. This prevents the needles from drying out.

 

  • If the centerpiece has candles, keep the flame a minimum of 4” above the greens to prevent the heat from drying out the needles.

 

  • It is normal for a few needles to drop, so don’t worry if you see a few!
