Fresh garden vegetables fill the lower tiers of a wire basket, while flowers nestled in a bed of lettuce top it off with a joyous finale. To assemble, wrap the flower stems loosely with a rubber band, and tuck the bouquet into a small canning jar filled with water before hiding it inside the lettuce leaves. Soak the vegetables in a chilly bath, then blot dry and arrange just before the first guest arrives.

Though the flowers in this stunning centerpiece, including hydrangea, larkspur, roses, and sword ferns, come from a florist, you could substitute garden flowers or blossoms from flowering shrubs.

These tall topiaries can be made with 15-inch foam cones potted in a pair of footed soup tureens. To assemble, place a piece of foam in the bottom of each tureen to elevate the cone to the lip, then pin or hot-glue the cone onto the foam base. Next, use long T-shape pins to attach Brussels sprouts to the foam; pin the sprouts as close together as possible, beginning at the bottom and working up. Fill in any open areas with sphagnum moss and tuck, glue, or pin more moss to the bottom edge of each cone. The topiaries will last, unrefrigerated, from several days to a week.
