This was the year that The New York Botanical Garden and the entire nation celebrated edible gardens. A slew of beautiful and interesting fruits and vegetables flooded the market, and local farmer’s markets became very trendy. I make it a habit of going to the Union Square Farmer’s Market to search out tasty fruits and vegetables for my own table: for eating as well as for displaying in easy-to-make centerpieces. I bought a rustic, square wooden plate for my centerpieces. The container or plate you choose to showcase your creation is just as important as the centerpiece itself. Buy one that fits your decorating style.
