Jennifer Kirschnick: Hello! I am Jennifer Kirschnick and I am with a landscaping called
Baltimore Garden Company and today we are going to be talking about
how to decorate the outside of your home for the holidays. We are going
to be doing everything from how to make a decoration for your window,
we are going to show you how to make a couple of very festive containers
for next to your front door, we are going to create a really fun decoration
for above your door with fruit and we are going to show you how to install
some holiday lights. Some of the tools that we are going to be using today
for the decorating are everything from a good set of pruners, scissors, use
scissors that are light, floral tape, floral wire, a brick of florist foam, it is a
green foam that you can find in craft stores, fresh fruit. We are going to
use a lot of green.
So, we are going to need a -- maybe almost even a trash bag full of fresh
greens, pine cones and other accent pieces that will go over at the
beginning of each clip. We are also going to be talking about some safety
issues, this is not a really dangerous occupation, but we will go over some
comments and things that you should keep in mind when we are doing
these activities and before we go much further, I will tell you a little bit
more about myself.
Again, my name is Jennifer and I have a degree in Landscape
Architecture, actually and I have a landscape company for about five years
now. We do landscaping, spring through fall and then this time of year, we
do holiday decorating. A couple of projects we worked on, federal hill is a
historical area here in Baltimore, we do the holiday decorations for the
street there and the condominium building downtown, we do some front of
the building decorations for them and we love this time of the year, it is
fun to get outside and make places look beautiful.
For everyone who is walking by, it is fun to see the smiles on their faces
when they see some nice decorations. So, let us get started, the first thing
that we are going to talk about is how to make our window decoration
which is something that you can put at the base of a window to brighten it
up from the outside of your house.
