Tablescapes, The Bunny Garden

the Painted Apron

11 years ago

Welcome to the Bunny Garden!

It’s a magical place full of bunnies and their favorite vegetables

Benjamin is the biggest bunny so he stands proudly in the center looking over the garden and the smaller bunnies

He takes his position quite seriously

There’s a watering can to keep his garden green…

and he makes sure the asparagus grows straight and tall.

A white lattice fence surrounds the garden where carrots are abundant.

The fence helps to keep everything contained in this busy bunny garden…. bunnies can be quite messy you know!

The garden itself is all dressed up for Easter with silk bows… the color of carrots of course!

The places are set for Benjamin’s Easter guests with a bright pink napkin held in place with a burlap bunny napkin ring

on each plate is a plump red radish for pre-dinner nibbles,

and Benjamin waits patiently for the party to begin…

“Hopping bunny” goblets are waiting for the thirsty guests

Carrots, radishes, Brussels sprouts and asparagus, make for a garden of very happy bunnies!

The garden began with a cotton ruffled cloth

that was going to need some adjusting!

I gathered each end loosely and tied them with a silk sash.

I put a stone green tier in the center for Benjamin and lined the edges of the table with narrow graphic print mats. I tied the head chairs with silk sashes to match the table bows and covered the side chair backs with the same “lattice” mats. The sashes and mats are from another party I did several years ago and I have used them in a variety of ways…You never know when something is going to come in handy!
