"We're going to be making our vegetable flower display in this basket. You want to choose a basket that has a relatively high side, just about five or six inch sides. And it's fairly straight up and down fairly vertical on the sides. This helps to pull the vegetables in nice and tight and it'll give good sturdy support for our flowers. Now if you want to put in a glass bowl, this is the type of bowl that you would want to prepare the display in. Again it's a very high side, with a nice vertical tight side. Not an open bowl. You don't want an open bowl, an open basket, because it doesn't give the flowers enough to stand up in. So you can choose either bowls or baskets or anything else, even a flower pot will work for this display."
