Here's an idea for a fresh and modern Christmas tree by Floral Designer Ken Marten, that will live on for the rest of the year... just add ornaments! Use a plant stand and various topiary style plants in planters of the same color for a unified look. For the tree top, an urn shape works beautifully here. Place it on a low round table and gifts can be housed beneath it! After the holidays you can give the plants away or disperse them around the house! Below is another option using Jasmine plants.
