  • The wicker chargers add a natural element and ground the lighter plates.
  • Blue mason jars are perfect anywhere in my opinion! A spring table is especially nice.
  • I sewed french tea towels together to make smaller runners that could be used width-wise. This works well for a place setting for 4.

This is a "warning" post. I had planted a row of these about 4 years ago, with the intention of blocking out the neighbor behind us. Our 6 foot privacy fence, on a slope, was only about 5 feet in reality. True to their information, they do grow extremely fast and provide excellent privacy.
