Ingredients:

Fresh plants, fruits and vegetables

Preparation:

Make a garden-inspired centerpiece, using potted flowering plants, fruits and vegetables that can be purchased from the grocery store. Pick a color palette and pick your vegetables and fruits accordingly. For example, for a dark purple and green combination, fill the bottom of a basket with purple ornamental kale, add a potted purple tulip plant, a small variegated ivy plant and then fill with Japanese eggplant, artichokes, zucchini, avocados and dark purple grapes.

Helpful hints:

If your table is less than six feet long, make one arrangement in the center of your table. If your table is longer, extend vegetables across the entire table in smaller groupings, or one long, lengthwise arrangement.
