Beyond the Basics - outdoor centerpiece

This is a wonderful idea for an outdoor centerpiece that will never get knocked off your table. Drill a hole in the bottom of a bowl, planter or platter. Be sure that the hole is aligned with and equal to the umbrella hole in your table. Place your bowl over the hole in the table and insert your umbrella. You can fill the bowl with a small garden, rocks, shells or any number of things that make an interesting centerpiece.
