The best thing about this centerpiece–it can go right from your table to the garden by planting the seedlings, eggs and all.

Better yet, send the seedlings home with guests for a memorable gift that will last.

  3. Blow through the top of the egg until all of the insides are removed.
  4. Carefully wash your empty eggs and set aside to dry.
