Simple Christmas Ideas with Plants & Herbs

HERBAL ELEGANCE :

Try this idea:

• Use sprigs of rosemary or thyme as napkin rings or plate trims for a fragrant,

  festive touch. Tie them with natural twine or thin gold ribbon

• Place directly on plates for a simple, aromatic touch

  
  

Not only do they look beautiful, but they also add a subtle festive scent to the table

TABLE DECORATIONS :

Instead of traditional floral arrangements, small plants or herbs make charming centrepieces.

Simple options include:

• Mini bouquets of herbs or foliage in glass jars

• Small potted herbs placed along the table

• A mix of eucalyptus, pine or ivy for a relaxed, natural look

  
  

These arrangements are understated, elegant, and easy to adapt for any table size.

GREEN GARLANDS :

Bring the outdoors in by using greenery around the home.

Ideas to try:

• Drape eucalyptus, pine or ivy along a mantel or staircase

• Add a few fairy lights for a warm evening glow

• Keep it loose and organic for a relaxed festive feel

Green garlands create instant atmosphere without feeling overdone.

PLANTABLE GIFT THAT KEEPS GROWING:

• Small glass bottles or jars with herb cuttings or succulents in water

• Tie with twine and a simple “Plant me” tag

• Include easy planting instructions for the recipient
