Sometimes less is more, and simplicity is best. It would be such a hassle to restock your home with expensive, flower shop specimens when these beautiful wild violets from the garden can be transported to the table or counter in seconds! Dandelions, buttercups, and other under-appreciated plants right at your doorstep would all work – simplicity is key. This is a great project to recycle old and mismatched drinking glasses that you’re still holding onto because they’re too cute to get rid of! A cluster of different heights and sizes looks the best on a table.
Materials
- Collection of old aperitif and other small drinking glasses.
- Several dug up wild violets or other small, sweet weedy flower.
- Moss to cover soil.
Instructions
- With your fingers or small trowel, dig up individual small flowers, leaving a chunk of soil still attached to the roots.
- Tuck several small plants together inside each glass, topping off with a thin layer of scavenged moss.
- With proper watering (the soil should be lightly moist), these centerpieces will thrive for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.
