Decorate Your Thanksgiving Table with Farmers' Market Finds

Get inspired to make a colorful, seasonal centerpiece from fresh produce like pomegranates and gourds — all available at your local farmers' market.

A delicious feast deserves a beautiful centerpiece, and if you're stuck for ideas —the farmer's market can help, along with a little inspiration from Pinterest.com.

Concord Patch has created a "board" of Thanksgiving centerpieces using fresh produce such as winter squash, gourds, pumpkins, and pomegranates. Click here to browse for ideas. Here are some favorites:

  • Hollow out a pumpkin or gourd and use it as a vase.
  • Fill glass candle holders with nuts.
  • Create a candle bowl filled with clementines.
  • Turn artichokes and other vegetables into candle holders.
  • Create a horn of plenty spilling with seasonal vegetables.
