How to Care for Fresh Magnolia Wreaths

Gorgeous, traditionally Southern, custom-made Magnolia wreaths are made by us using fresh Magnolia stems straight from our Magnolia tree field. By using our Magnolias, your wreath is then hand-made by us; you are truly receiving a wreath that has been completely fashioned from start to finish at your local nursery.

Your wreath will begin the drying process as it is exposed to different elements of temperature and humidity. To prolong your wreath, keep it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, as well as moisture. If using on a front door, do not place in between your glass door and front door because there will be a lack of fresh air, and the heat between the doors will cause your wreath to dry out much quicker. Hang on the outermost door. Avoid moving your wreath once it is completely dry unless carefully placing in a box to store for future use.

Depending on the temperature, you can expect the following drying times:

• 75-78 degrees indoors: approximately 7-10 days

• 50-70 degrees outdoors: approximately 3 weeks

Indoors, fresh wreaths are beautiful over a mantle or where they can be a focal point during the holidays. Outdoors, they look amazing on front doors or on front entry gates.

All fresh wreaths and arrangements are custom-made. To pre-order yours or for more information, call us at 615.468.2008 or stop by the nursery.

Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas from all of us at Riverbend Nurseries!
