peaches and blooms from summer flowers makes a soothing arrangement. (I put the blooms in individual vials and mingle them in with the fruit.) An assortment of tomatoes arranged around a container of basil is fragrant and uplifting. Red is an energizing color and basil has a unique aroma which makes this a winning combination. Mint is easy to grow. There are numerous varieties available that make wonderful additions to healthy art displays.

Decorating with fruits and vegetables is a slightly challenging in the fall and winter. Braids of garlic and strings of dried green beans and peppers make great edible art items. Wire baskets become artistically lovely when filled with various shapes, sizes and colors of onions and potatoes. Pomegranates are a favorite seasonal fruit that I like to use in my artistic designs. There are so many different varieties of apples easily accessible in local markets, that just a collection of various types of apples becomes a work of art.
Since I started decorating my home with healthy art I have drastically changed my eating habits. Reaching for a mango, kiwi, tomato, or carrot is much healthier than grabbing a cookie or munching on chips. Having beautiful arrangements of fruits and vegetables in sight and within reach serves more than one purpose. Healthy art nourishes my physical body and lifts my spirit, and adds beauty to my home.
