Festive table settings for green thumbs

By Danielle Pinkus|

When you're in charge of hosting Christmas lunches and dinners at your place, it's a well-accepted fact you will be quietly judged on the atmosphere in equal parts to the seafood platter.

From using left over rosemary sprigs, to making a centrepiece out of foraged eucalyptus branches from your backyard, here's how to create standout table green settings that from items you can mostly find around your house.

1. Add a sprig of rosemary to your place cards

2. Or tie spare ribbon around the single rosemary sprig

3. Add a single leaf of foliage such as a silver gum or fern to each place setting
