Don’t forget to drape some along the roof edges for an added touch. If you have fences or railings, you can even wrap them there. Just don’t forget to find some clips to help you secure those lights.
Deck the Halls with Lush Greenery

Whether plain green, floral, or even LED-lit, garlands are perfect for infusing life into your outdoor space during the chilly winter months ahead. To complement the garlands, add some wreaths to your collection to grow that warm and inviting atmosphere.
To elevate your greenery, consider adding ribbons, pinecones, and ornaments to your garlands and wreaths, making them unique and personalized.
