Best Christmas greenery from your garden

Hello, I probably am being unreasonable to post this hear as it's not a juicy relational one but wanted real people's suggestions and experience on this so anyone who wants to share it would be much appreciated!

The past two years we had several trees cut down around our property (they were getting far too big, too close to building and blocking light? and realised we no longer have a supply of nice Christmas greenery for wreath making etc, they're all gone, bar, thankfully some lovely Holly.

This year I want to replant some trees and plants that will give me attractive foliage for seasonal activities. But I really know nothing at all about gardening. Can any clever people here share the names of some plants, conifers etc that lend themselves well to this?

Thank you in advance!!

Also, to add, I know MN doesn't really do pics, but if anyone has any photos of lovely festive floristry they would be willing to share. I'd certainly love to see

I've seen these in hedges, never thought to dry them, thank you!

to be clear you do not dry the ivy- you use it when it has the black coloured berries on

There are some evergreens that smell great, I love Juniper. Its slow growing so you won't have to dig it out too soon.
