Friday evening, I enjoyed a wonderful happy hour at my neighbor’s home. It was a pleasure to catch up with many friends and neighbors after the holiday hustle. One of my neighbors was struggling with getting her holiday decorations organized, packed up and put back into storage. I promised her a brief blog post with my favorite tips. Here we go!

How do you store a fake tree? It's worth investing in a large, malleable tree cover. Front Gate, Wayfair, and Amazon all have different options and they can be purchased after the holidays for a fraction of the pre-Christmas price.

What is the best way to get rid of your real tree/greenery? I'm a huge advocate for recycling trees. Many Home Depot stores across the U.S. will recycle Christmas trees for free.

That’s a wrap! I hope these tips help your space to BLOOM in Baltimore, Maryland and beyond.
