In the heart of winter, as festive spirit fills the air, there's no better way to adorn your home than with a charming outdoor Christmas planter. The creative duo behind Rambling Renovators guides you through the process with their simple, eight-step plan. Begin with a sturdy container—perhaps a rustic wooden box or a classic terracotta pot—to serve as your base. Next, ensure proper drainage by adding a layer of small stones or gravel at the bottom.

Once that's in place, layer in potting soil mixed with slow-release fertiliser to nourish your plants. Now, it’s time for the fun part: choose a selection of seasonal greens such as pine, holly, or eucalyptus, and arrange them artfully in the soil to create a lush backdrop. Add delightful accents like pinecones, dried oranges, or festive ribbon to bring a touch of Christmas cheer. If you’re feeling adventurous, consider incorporating seasonal blooms for a pop of colour. Lastly, don’t forget to top it off with a sprinkle of faux snow or twinkling fairy lights to truly capture the magic of the season. With these easy steps, your outdoor planter will be a stunning addition to your holiday decor, bringing joy to all who pass by.
