Nothing is more satisfying than to watch the daily changes of growing veggie seeds for the garden. Each year unfolds with selecting packet after packet of favorite veggies, like peas, parsnips, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and squash....the selection process becomes endless. Planted in trays and placed into the greenhouse to grow into tiny plants, these healthy plants are then transferred to the plot in the prepared designated area to grow into full and mature beauties . They will produce an over abundance of fresh veggies that cannot be compared to anything else.
The growing season has begun and is an inspiration for the Summer Tablescape Blog Hop hosted by Rita from Panoply. Being a participant in this party which begins Tuesday, June 10th, 2025, it makes me even more excited and joyful to witness another year of bountiful blessings.
So lets praise and celebrate the growing season and the gift of tasty vegetables with The Growing Garden tablescape in celebration and honor of the glorious harvest which we receive each year.
As part of farm raised goods, a centerpiece is made up of an egg basket filled to the brim with fresh eggs straight from the chicken coop.
The bright orange color from the napkins make the table pop. Carrot napkin rings are tucked into a terra cotta pot with moss. Terra cotta bunny napkin rings hold the orange napkins in place and add to the various elements found in the garden.
Two large Ball canning jars with attached wires for hanging are filled with soil, wrapped with orange and white striped bakers thread and includes a tea light for a perfect garden lantern.
Mini terra cotta pots filled with soil, moss and succulents or faux rope carrots are scattered throughout the table.
Embellished with sage green striped ribbon, the beverage mason jars are ready to hold a cool drink or can be filled with potato salad or pasta salad for lunch or dinner.
The salad plates with various country barn prints are perfect with neutral taupe and sage green color pieces like placemats and flatware. Such peaceful colors.
There are even vegetables growing in the gnome family garden.
They are busy at work tending to the vegetable garden just outside their mushroom home in a pumpkin shape terrarium jar. The gnome garden is fun to gaze at with all of their humorous details.
The appetizers replicate the mushroom gnomes home. They are made with mozzarella balls, cherry tomatoes, black olives along a stepping stone path made of sliced carrots dotted with sour cream and surrounded by chopped parsley.
What an adorable and healthy mouthful. A snack made in gnome land.
A spicy carrot shaped cheese ball surrounded by fresh and crispy veggies are bright as they are crunchy and flavorful. No one can pass this up. Not even the garden bunnies.
With the warm weather we have been experiencing, the garden theme was taken to the porch. It has been so wonderful to sit on the porch after the rain storm has passed. The scent of fresh earthy ground is a scent that restores anyone's soul.
This lovely garden rake door decor including a bright green bow, carrots and a pot of fresh herbs welcomes anyone who comes to visit.
A boxwood wreath with a green striped bow and a bundle of carrots hang above the porch bench.
Fabric found at Hobby Lobby with a lovely vegetable print makes the perfect toss pillows.
A wire basket filled with the garden harvest of fresh veggies and fruits make a great accent piece placed by the front door. The larger size terra cotta bunny which matches the terra cotta bunny napkin rings reminds everyone that where there are vegetables there are bunnies around who eat them. They have a very healthy diet.
As luck was with me, I found that I had enough vegetable print fabric leftover from the porch pillows to make four placemats. So I exchanged the neutral taupe placemats for my newly created placemats with a variety of vegetables as a pattern. It all comes together for a great tribute to vegetable gardening.
We hope you enjoyed the tour through the garden. This is a posting found on Facebook which was too cute not to include in my garden-themed tablescape.
Now lets celebrate more of Summer with the following designers in the blog hop who have worked diligently to bring you great ideas for your table.
