With Thanksgiving just around the corner, creating a stunning table centerpiece doesn’t require an expensive florist visit. Your garden and local garden center have everything you need for a memorable holiday display.
1. Harvest Bowl Arrangement
Fill a rustic wooden bowl with ornamental kale, mini pumpkins, and preserved fall leaves. Add height with cattails or ornamental grasses from your yard. This centerpiece can transition seamlessly into your December décor.
2. Herb Bundle Place Settings
Tie fresh rosemary, sage, and thyme sprigs with twine for aromatic place settings your guests can take home. These herbs not only smell wonderful but can be dried and used for holiday cooking.
3. Succulent Pumpkin Planters
Hollow out small pumpkins and plant them with hardy succulents and moss. These living centerpieces will last well beyond Thanksgiving and make perfect hostess gifts.
4. Branch and Berry Runner
Create a natural table runner using evergreen branches, winterberry holly, and battery-operated fairy lights. This low-profile design won’t obstruct conversation across the table.
5. Grateful Gratitude Tree
Place bare branches in a tall vase and hang small paper tags for guests to write what they’re thankful for. Accent with fall leaves and mini ornamental gourds at the base.
