As sad as it is – that perfect pine scent and the cheer that once revolved around your family’s Christmas tree, unfortunately, can’t last forever.

However, since it won’t take root, or be staying in your living room, why not consider saving space in landfills and recycling your Christmas tree into mulch? One last feel-good experience with your Christmas tree that over 17,000 in Metro Nashville took advantage of last year, alone! (Just don’t forget to remove all stands, wires, lights, ornaments, etc!)

How to Decorate Your Front Porch for Fall

With summer coming to a close, the last of the season’s blooms are falling, making this the ideal time to decorate your front porch for fall.
