Invest in Evergreens Potted evergreens—like boxwood, privet or yew—look great year- round and can stand alone or act as a backdrop for seasonal ingredients. For fall, place a few white, orange or gray pumpkins on the ground near the base of the containers. When you're ready to transition to winter, swap pumpkins for two sets of white string lights to wrap around the evergreens. Or, keep it simple and let the evergreens stand alone, as was done for this boxwood topiary pair. Choose a Wreath That Can Bridge Seasons Whether you make your own wreath or purchase one, look for a wreath that is largely made up of evergreen—but not coniferous—foliage. Fir and pine feel too wintery for fall, while evergreens like preserved boxwood, silvery eucalyptus or bronze magnolia can easily work for both seasons. 1 2
