I had a couple of faux evergreen trees from the Christmas season that I wanted to repurpose into everyday outside decor. In order to make them look less 'holiday' I added in some mixed foliage, check it out:

Here is one of the trees as it looked before adding anything extra. I stuck it in a large terra cotta pot with dirt to keep it from blowing over. I found the two trees while garage selling, for $5 each. The big pot was a Goodwill find, but I can't remember the price.
A thrifted wreath ($2.99) had plenty of faux greenery for me to reuse.
I carefully pulled out the stems...
... and then removed the berries.
I ended up with a large pile of greens ready to go. I didn't have any use for the empty grapevine wreath, so I donated it back to the store.
Because the foliage from the wreath was already wired, it was simple to twist each stem right into the artificial tree. I kept adding here and there until the tree was full and not so holiday looking.
And that's how I repurposed my Christmas trees for every day outdoor decor.
