How can the Louisiana Nursery staff help people decorate for the holidays? 

Though we offer services like custom bow-making, repotting and tree deliveries, our staff is most helpful by giving people inspiration. They’ve been working double time to get our Winter Wonderland looking the best it ever has. With multiple new themes and returning favorites, you’ll have no trouble getting started! 

What suggestions do you have for people buying a live tree? 

Come early! We usually have trees ready to shop by mid-November, but selections vary from year to year. If you are looking for larger sizes, particular varieties or the best pickings, the early bird gets the worm! 

What other types of live holiday greenery is available at Louisiana Nursery? 

Garland, wreathes and swags are ways to add fresh greenery all over your home. Rosemary plants and lemon cypress are two evergreen favorites for the holidays. Put them in a pot and let them thrive on patios and doorsteps. 

How can people help their live trees and greenery last 

After a fresh cut on the trunk, add water and tree preserve to the tree stand. Without it, the tree may dry and brown more quickly. For wreathes and garlands, fill a tub with cool water and soak the pieces overnight. Even a few hours helps absorb moisture. Continue to mist greenery with cool water every day or two. For trees and greenery, try to avoid the direct path of vents and drafty areas. You may note these areas and mist them more often. 

What other holiday décor is available at Louisiana Nursery?  

Our biggest sections are ornaments, ribbons and decorative picks. If you are looking for a specific brand, Farrisilk’s ribbons have been moving like no other. Customers love the extra-durable and thick fabric, and we use them often in our displays. 

Do you have any general holiday decorating tips? 

Decorating trends have been moving towards bold accents and all-out settings for many years. Just like our themed trees in store, people are looking to transform their entire space and show off their personality throughout the season.
