Dish Garden

Last weekend I attended my nephew's wedding engagement in New Jersey. During that visit, we stayed at the Double Tree hotel. As some of you may know, when you check-in, the Double Tree staff welcomes you with their famous warm gooey chocolate chip cookies. As I was indulging in the most delicious chocolate chip cookie, I became enamored with the dish garden in the lobby. You can create something similar to this arrangement with a supermarket's flowering plants, orchid plants and driftwood.




I didn't recognize this unusual fruit at the bottom used as an accent.

I am joining Savvy Southern Style and Tablescape Thursday.
