The options for a Live Cedar Garland are endless – the ideal way to bring holidays to life at your home or office. Throughout history, cedar has played a significant role in decorating. In fact, the use of real cedar for decorative purposes dates back to ancient civilizations. Cedar trees were highly valued for their aromatic and pest-repellent qualities, and they were often used in ancient religious ceremonies and rituals.
In ancient Egypt, cedar branches were used to adorn temples and tombs in honor of the gods and to ward off evil spirits. The Greeks and Romans also used cedar in their religious ceremonies as a symbol of protection and purification.
In a more modern context, the tradition of decorating with real cedar has been popularized during the holiday season. The use of a cedar garland for Christmas decorations can be traced back to Victorian England, where it became a staple in festive adornments.
Today, decorating with real cedar garland has become a beloved tradition in many households. From adorning mantles and staircases to accenting outdoor spaces, cedar garlands continue to be a popular choice for adding natural beauty and a festive touch to homes during the holiday season.
