Located in: For The Home Orphaned, Decorative Accents, Wreaths & Greens

During the holidays, there's nothing more inviting than the scent of a really fresh balsam wreath. Our traditional hand-tied Vermont evergreen wreaths have long-lasting color and fragrance because they're cut and hand-tied only after first frost, when the air is crisp and trees have hardened off. They're festively decorated with pinecones and a weatherproof, hand-tied, red bow.

Sets a holiday mood displayed on the front door

Lush balsam is accented with pinecones, faux holly berries and a festive red, hand-tied bow

Comments about Vermont Balsam Wreath:

After years of skimpy wreaths built on wire frames, I was happy to hang this on on my apartment door. The branches were full, the balsam fragrance was wonderful, and the wreath shed very little. Decorations were wired to picks and were easy to remove. I'd buy this one again.

I ordered the smaller size since our front door has a single window which is 21"X35". This size was prefect. I hung it up the day it arrived Nov.25 and it is still going strong almost 1 month later.

Comments about Vermont Balsam Wreath:

I have given these as employee gifts for the last three years, and they get raves every time. When I spoke once about trying another idea, I was met with requests that I continue giving these frangrant, long lasting wreaths. They always arrive in wonderful condition, and last for weeks. Even after the holidays, I often leave mine on the door without the ribbon, to continue to enjoy the aroma.

The Balsam Christmas wreath has been sent to Miami and Tucson AZ where the temperatures are not conducive to evergreens. The wreaths always arrive fresh and remain beautiful and fragrant well beyond the Christmas holidays. The recipients are always glad to get a touch of the holiday traditions with which they grew up.

Comments about Vermont Balsam Wreath:

It's full and healthy-looking; I have one on each of our front double doors and one over the fireplace. I'd planned to put holly here and there on them, but our holly bush didn't have any berries this year! Wish I'd gotten another for the back door.

No hanger on the back.

from Barre, VT on 11/13/2008

Comments about Vermont Balsam Wreath:

Have bought these wreaths for years, and love them. The one big negative is that there is no wire loop fashioned on the back to hang it. I have to make my own, and it's not as sturdy as it would be if the wreathmakers fashioned one in the creation process.
