I found the perfect package for some gladiolus bulbs I had left over. I put them in a large Easter Egg, and wrote "Santa's Spring Fling" on them. The bulbs will keep in the egg and be ready for spring when is warm enough to plant bulbs in the garden.

I decorated a bird bath with small pumpkins, gourds, dried leaves, twigs, and a pot of winter flowers. Other holiday decor can be used. A festive ribbon and bow could be tied at the base of the birdbath to add more color.
