Tablescapes are an important and fun element in garden design. Whether you are having guests over or not, they are a great way to add visual interest to a space. Creative compositions can even be conjured up with a just handful of household items and a few fresh flowers from the garden.
(1) This tablescape was created with seashells from the bathroom, candles, and a small potted succulent from the garden.
(2) This informal cottage garden tablescape consists of garden tools, old teacups, and Euphorbia tirucalli ‘Sticks of Fire’ and Kalanchoe blossfeldiana ‘Opala Pink’ in pots.
(3) This contemplative garden has Asian plates, decorative lanterns, marbles, and colorful pots. Remember, tablescapes don’t need to be bound to the table!
(4) The mirror underneath the centered pots create depth while knotted lavender ties echoes the greenery beyond.
