The holiday season is fast approaching and fresh Christmas wreaths are everywhere you go. A lot of people love fresh wreaths for the instant aroma they bring into the home, but by the time Christmas day arrives, they're pretty much dried out. I’m going to share 2 key points on how to properly care for your wreaths for maximum freshness and longevity.

To keep your wreaths as fresh and aromatic as possible…

• Give your wreath a good misting every other day to every 2 days if your wreath is indoors. Evergreens can soak up water through their needles so make sure you mist generously front and back. For outside wreaths, mist 2-3 times a week.

• Keep your wreath away from direct sunlight and away from nearby heating vents.
