It is officially spring, which means beautiful flowers, sunny days, warmer weather and of course an abundance of artichokes! Several holidays worth celebrating also arrive with the onset of spring including Passover, Easter, Mother’s Day, and more. Not only can you impress your family with tasty artichoke recipes at each gathering, but did you know artichokes also make the perfect décor for your springtime table setting?
Here are 3 creative ways to let artichokes take center stage on your table this spring.
Artichoke Centerpiece
Make sure that your friends and family know that you are an avid vegetable lover! Build a beautiful, vibrant green centerpiece with artichokes as the showstopper. Mix in an assortment of other green, leafy textures or brighten up the arrangement with your favorite spring flowers. Another idea is to dress up your table by using artichokes and other green vegetables in a fresh candlescape!
Name Place Card Holder
Hosting Easter at your house this year? Help everyone find their seat by letting your artichokes do the talking! This is a great way to not only dress up your table, but also serves as a fun (and delicious) party favor for your guests to enjoy at home later.
Artichoke Floral Gift
Our favorite use of artichokes this spring is to use them into a floral arrangement that shares the sweet smells and savory flavors of the season in one beautiful presentation. Grab a bouquet of Mom’s favorite flowers and arrange with an artichoke or two for a unique Springtime touch.
