Whether you’re a seasoned expert or new to using plants as functional decor, one thing’s for sure: the thrill of sweet rewards in the comfort of your home is a joy like no other. Here, we’ll demystify decor for your gathering spaces so you never have to wonder. From edible berries to fig trees, just pick your plant, declutter your kitchen and dining rooms, and we’ll help with the rest. Let’s get styling.
I. KITCHEN
Time to kick things off with our culinary best-sellers. The Sun Grove has a wide range of sweet and savory edible plants on demand — from tomatoes and peppers to bananas, figs, olive trees, and even tea. These fruits and vegetables make your space shine with their year-round foliage (and treats)!
The Pepper
Spice up your kitchen with color, crunch, and flavor. A plant that’s perfectly happy perched on an island or kitchen counter, the pepper is a favorite for a reason. While tempting, remember this: peppers should be glossy and full-sized before picking!

The Tomato
Our best advice: place your tomato plant under a window for easy access to cutting boards & full rays of light to soak in. They can live indoors or out and extend up to 3 ft. tall once the first color shows. Let these fully mature for the sweetest, melt-in-your-mouth flavor.

The Blackberry & Blueberry
On the balcony or perched by a well-lit window, harvest a taste of the wild with our fruiting blackberry and blueberry plants. These gorgeous plants are also decor pieces that make your kitchen a garden-like dream. Their sweet rewards are here to satisfy, so grab your favorite pot, recipe, apron, and get to picking.

The Yellow Begonia
Get ready to gather and graze with the begonia by your side. Either by the entryway, a hall console table or dining table, a slender pot accentuates its compact stature and linen tablecloth adds some texture.

II. INDOOR DINING
Our favorite spot to switch things up? The dining room. Think less cookie-cutter, more design-your-own-adventure. Stand out and add personality to your gathering spaces with greenery you wouldn’t expect. Read on for our tips to create a sophisticated space with styled plants for a rustic yet classic dining room.
The Fig Tree
The fig tree’s broad, glossy leaves provide a lush feel that enhances your gathering rooms, naturally. Positioned on the center of a small side table next to your dining area, it effortlessly blends style and function, making your home both inviting and chic.

The Pink Hydrangea
Turn up the color inside when the temps drop with the potted hydrangea. It pairs well with others, so feel free to add another plant (like the olive), to accompany it! Textured clay pots add depth with a vintage appeal, and dark colors make the magenta hues pop.

II. OUTDOOR PATIO
No matter the season, adorn your porch with the best. From Mediterranean sophistication to potted perennials, create a welcoming outdoor space with plants that you’ll love to gather around. Your guests will appreciate the gorgeous scenery for the inevitable photos! Just add well-draining soil.
Braided Olive Tree
Take the elegance up a notch with the braided olive tree. With leaves that tend to be less saturated than your typical greenery, they provide a subtle enhancement to decor. Experiment with heights and pot textures to create an eclectic yet harmonious table vibe.
Any opportunity we get to play with color, pattern, texture and add interest to our dining experiences, we are all in.
So – are you as plant obsessed as we are? We knew it. Go out and lead with personality in your gathering spaces to make a statement.
