  1. Cut a couple of blocks of oasis so they fit snugly into the terracotta pots.
  2. Soak the oasis blocks in some water for approximately 30 minutes.
  3. Line the terracotta pot with glad wrap or plastic.
  4. Remove the oasis blocks from the water and put into the terracotta pots.
  5. Cut the pieces of greenery so that they are all of a similar length.
  6. Gently push the greenery into the oasis blocks so that the create a ring around the edge of the pot.
  7. Use another piece of plastic on top of the wet oasis blocks and place the pumpkins or gourds on top of the greenery.
  8. Arrange pots in a display.

Initially, I arranged mine on a side table with extra loose pumpkins and some wooden candlesticks.

I kept them there for a few days then decided to change it up a bit and added them to an oversized white wooden tray (my favorite thrift store find) together with some glass candlesticks.

This is just one idea but it’s possible to come up with all sorts of different combinations and displays using what you have at hand.  Think pine cones, autumn leaves, acorns, horse chestnuts etc.
