Photo feature: Garden club goes all natural

The Natchez Garden Club has decided to go back to nature the holiday season with decorations created from all-natural cuttings. Residents are invited to come see the mantles filled with all-natural materials, including everything from magnolia leaves and berries to feathers and fruit. The decorations will be in the same style as the Victorian period when the house was owned by Thomas Henderson. Reflected in one of the house’s large mirrors, Paige Carter, above, creates an Advent wreath for the center table in one of the parlors. (Ben Hillyer / The Natchez Democrat)
