4. Nærum Allotment GardensYear: 1948Designer: Carl Theodor SørensenLocation: Nærum, DenmarkDenmark’s allotment gardens date to the 1600s, but it’s the Nærum Allotment Gardens by Carl Theodor Sørensen that elevated them to landscape architecture art piece. Each of the 40 oval garden patches is 80 feet long and 50 feet wide (based on the golden ratio), separated by a common area lawn. The aerial view of the round gardens, called de runde haver in Danish, shows that while all the allotments are equal in size and shape, how they’re laid out — including the house location — are different. While Sørensen provided guidelines and suggestions for the residents, they were free to design their allotments to their preference.
I personally love tillandsias, or air plants, and have a beautiful Tillandsia xerographica that lives in my studio, where I can enjoy it year-round. When we have a celebration, it becomes the centerpiece of our tablescape, usually perched on a small block of wood or cork coaster, similar to the air plants displayed in the tablescape here. The organic, soft curls of the tillandsia complement the metallic gold place settings, linens and natural textures.
3. Add organic texture with greenery. Organic textures are the next step in this neutral tablescape. Greenery adds freshness and life to the table. You can forage for greens outside or buy branches; they can decorate the house until it’s time to compost them.Learn how to make this eucalyptus garland
Decor idea: Focus your decorating energies on making one major floral statement — it takes about the same time as fussing with lots of smaller arrangements but has more impact. For a look similar to the one shown here, group roses or carnations into round clusters, fasten the stems together with floral tape and trim them short. Rest the floral balls atop cylindrical vases of varied heights. For a similar lighting effect (the lights shown here are special water-safe string lights), coil regular battery-powered string lights into empty vases. To keep flowers fresh without a water-filled vase, at least for the duration of your party, use florist tubes filled with water or water-soaked floral foam.
