I've always wanted to hang four fresh pine wreaths on the windows on the front of the house but they are so pricey. I might try this with pine.

You can get them as full as you want by adding additional boxwood clippings. The grapevine wreaths make it easy to do that.

They will probably last longer out there because they won’t get as dried out as they do in the house.

A year or two ago I put some boxwoods in some white pitchers around Christmas time. I had to keep plenty of water in them but I think they lasted awhile.
