As she revealed on her instagram, @maisonnumber9, Shirlie has adorned her greenhouse with winter lights, pine leaf foliage and a wreath to get her garden ready for Christmas.
Shirlie’s greenhouse has become the perfect winter retreat, and she couldn’t resist capturing the moment as snow began to fall.
“As I started to decorate the greenhouse it started snowing before I even put the lights on the tree,” she shared, alongside a stunning snap of snow-dusted greenery.
Shirlie has been embracing her love of gardening, building on her previous posts showing her Victorian garden style.

“I’m loving my greenhouse…. And so excited to finally be inside all ready to get in the Christmas mood,” she posted, sharing her joy at this new seasonal tradition.
The greenhouse has become a central part of the Kemps’ ongoing home and garden renovation project.

Fans were quick to praise Shirlie’s creative setup, with one commenting, “Great idea to dress the tree in there! I’ll steal that idea ❤️🎄.”
Others shared their admiration, writing: “Oh how wonderful 🤍🤍🤍,” “Feels like Christmas has arrived! x❤️x,” and “Oh my gosh this is magical!”
The post is a charming reminder of the festive magic Shirlie and Martin bring to their home, with Martin himself recently stunning fans with his autumn harvest after recovering from a minor chainsaw accident.
It seems though that Martin will be coming home to find Shirlie has taken over some of the winter gardening jobs in his absence.
