Christmas Trees at the Maryland State House
/
Another holiday themed outing – driving over to Annapolis to see the trees decorated by garden clubs for each of the counties in Maryland. It’s evidently the traditional display in the central hall of the Maryland State House this time of year. We did it yesterday – a cold but sunny day…and before the wind picked up in the afternoon. I took pictures of just about every tree.
My favorite was the one done for Worcester County – lots of natural material. I particularly liked the pinecones that were cut and painted to look like flowers (they reminded me of zinnias).
I also liked the Charles’ county birds made out of felt (with the bald eagle at the very top of the tree),
Dorchester’s painted shells and pearls (the overall color of the ornaments all over the tree was a light blue),
And the dried roses on Anne Arundel County’s tree…very golden color.
The decorations for the other trees and wreathes were very creative too.
The garden clubs all did an excellent job! I took a lot of pictures and might use some of the ideas for my decorating next year.
