Flowers for someone special, a dinner or an event wilt and are soon thrown away. What a waste.
Here is a better idea:
A floral arrangement is eye candy for a day or so and then it starts to wilt. So does an opportunity.
Instead, buy whole fruit from a farmers market or supermarket and turn it into a beautiful centerpiece for the table. Or you can purchase an edible arrangement of uncut, unpierced (no tooth picks) food.
Either way, it will be beautiful and have a lovely fragrance.

Let your centerpiece grace your table one day and feed a family the next.
If you think this is as good an idea as we do, please make a tax deductible donation to AmpleHarvest.org with the the money you’ve saved by not buying expensive flowers.

Instead of a floral arrangement in the center of your special dinner, use a whole fruit edible arrangement. Then share the leftover fruit with a local food pantry.
Your food can bless two tables.
