With so many elements to keep track of for the show to get started on time, Barrett and his team use a step by step process that they follow once all of the plants they need are fully grown and ready to be put in the actual space. It starts, if you hadn’t already guessed it, with the balsam fir trees which are placed first so there’s open areas to work in.
“So, just a couple of days ago none of these plants, the lower plants, were in here,” Barrett said. “We put all the trees in and you start kind of big at the top and then you work your way down. And then we start doing the surrounding supplemental plants with some of the poinsettias, the larger poinsettias, and supplemental contrast plants.”
Any lighting needed for the show, including the lights that hang on the trees is done before the supplemental plants are placed. This is so there’s room for workers to move around the bigger trees and poinsettias. After that smaller plants and other last-minute details can be added in for the show to come together.
“So, we’re trying to keep really strong lines, sweeps of colors, really sculpted patterns,” said Jason Toth, a floriculturist who’s worked at the conservatory since 2014. “There’s also a lot of silver plants that are in the side beds, eucalyptus and different kinds of salvia, things that have a real, sensorial quality. They either smell or feel really interesting. We always try to keep things a little more interactive. We’re kind of stepping away from the classic holly, deep green color and using bolder, wilder colors.”
