Here’s how to begin…

  1. Choose a container. We love the basket above as it comes with a convenient plastic liner that will protect your surfaces from water leakage.
  2. Fill the basket with pots of blooming springtime plants like:
    • Ranunculus
    • Pansies
    • Daffodils
    • Tulips
    • Hydrangea
  3. Choose colors to complement your décor and fill the container until it’s overflowing with blooms.
  4. Place moss over the top to hide the plastic containers.
  5. Add a petite basket of eggs for more interest.
  6. A bright, colorful, hand tied ribbons adds the final touch.

Your basket can be kept outside (when all danger of frost is gone) or can be enjoyed inside as the perfect table centerpiece.

Water often to make sure the soil doesn’t dry out and you can enjoy your basket creation until the blooms are spent.
