LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- Chris Olsen from Botanica Gardens always has great advice on home and gardening projects.
This time he's getting you ready for Christmas with a simple idea for a present and how to create a holiday-themed plant container.
First Segment: The Perfect Christmas Gift
Tis' the season to be jolly. Add some jolliness to your Christmas gift list with the perfect gift. Why not take a cardboard drink holder from a fast food restaurant and go ahead and stuff each compartment (usually four) with easy and affordable gifts such as a bottle of wine with a twist, scented battery candle, a potted topiary and a little of this and a little of that.
Second Segment: Holiday Planted Container
Have fun with your potted containers this season. Plant your pots with an assortment of evergreens and then embellish with bamboo poles spray painted a vibrant Christmas red. Stick those in the pot in groupings of odd numbers and the length of each pole is up to you. Then add red netting and a cluster of ornaments.
