The Ultimate Guide to Fresh Christmas Garland: Bringing the North Woods Home

When it comes to holiday decorating, few things capture the essence of the season quite like the scent of fresh-cut evergreens. While a wreath serves as a beautiful focal point, Christmas Garland is the thread that weaves the entire holiday theme together. At Evergreen Industries, we have spent over 60 years perfecting the art of the garland, providing homes, businesses, and fundraisers with lush, fragrant greenery that defines the winter season.

As you explore our Christmas Garland collection, you’ll discover that our products are more than just decorations—they are a sensory experience handcrafted with a legacy of quality.

The Sensory Experience: Why Freshness Matters

In an era of artificial imitations, the decision to go with live, fresh-cut garland is a decision to embrace the true spirit of the holidays. Our Balsam and Pine garlands offer benefits that no plastic replica can match:

• The Iconic Scent: The crisp, cool aroma of a Balsam Fir is scientifically proven to evoke memories and create a calming, festive atmosphere.

• Textural Depth: The subtle variations in needle length and color between our Balsam and Red Pine varieties add a layer of organic luxury to any space.

• Sustainability: Our greenery is a renewable resource, harvested using sustainable methods that protect our northern forests for generations to come.

Our Handcrafted Varieties

At Evergreen Industries, we don’t believe in "one size fits all." We offer two distinct varieties of garland, each built on a heavy-duty poly-twine core using a machine designed by our founder to ensure maximum needle retention and durability.

1. The Classic Natural Balsam Garland

This is our gold standard. Hand-tied using only the finest Balsam Fir boughs, this garland is thick, supple, and incredibly fragrant. It is the perfect choice for traditionalists who want a deep green, uniform look that provides a high-impact "Christmas smell."

2. The Balsam/Pine Mixed Garland

For those looking for a bit more "pizzazz" in their decor, our Mixed Garland incorporates branches of Red Pine throughout the Balsam base. The longer, softer needles of the pine create a multi-dimensional texture and a distinctive "wildwood" appearance that is highly sought after by professional decorators and floral designers.

Decorating with Garland: From Entryways to Centerpieces

The beauty of garland lies in its versatility. Because our garlands are supple and flexible, they can be draped, wrapped, or laid flat to suit any architectural feature:

• Staircases and Railings: Wrap your banisters in lush greenery to create a grand entrance. Pro tip: Intertwine a string of warm LED lights with the garland for a magical evening glow.

• Mantels and Fireplaces: A thick layer of Balsam garland across a mantelpiece creates a forest-inspired hearth. Add pine cones, berries, or heirlooms to customize the look.

• Outdoor Accents: Frame your front door, wrap your porch pillars, or drape your mailbox. Because our greenery is fresh-cut, it thrives in the cool winter air, staying vibrant throughout the season.

• The Living Table Runner: Use our garland as a continuous centerpiece for long dining tables. It creates a stunning, low-profile decoration that allows for easy conversation across the table.

A Powerful Tool for Fundraising Success

For over six decades, Evergreen Industries has been the primary partner for wreath and garland fundraisers. Organizations across the country—from Scout troops to church choirs—rely on our Christmas garlands to drive their holiday sales.

Garland is a "high-ticket" item that customers truly value. Because it is sold in various lengths (including our popular 15’, 25’, and 50’ coils), it allows your supporters to purchase exactly what they need for their home, increasing your organization's profit margins while providing a product that supporters are proud to display.
