The holiday season has a magical way of turning even the most ordinary garden into a sparkling, glowing wonderland. Lights drape across branches like shimmering jewelry, inflatable characters wave at neighbors, and ornaments suddenly find new homes on shrubs that didn’t ask for the responsibility. It’s festive, it’s fun, and it transforms the mood of an entire neighborhood in seconds. But beneath all that glitter, glow, and seasonal cheer, something interesting is happening—your garden might not be enjoying the party as much as you are.
Before you haul out the boxes of decorations this year, it’s worth asking a surprisingly overlooked question: are your holiday decorations actually harming your plants?
