A strawberry patch Easter tub? It may not sound better than an Easter basket. But trust us, it is.

What you'll need

Step 1

Since the theme is berry patch, we used a metal garden tub. But you can get creative and use any garden container you like. Try a wooden bucket, watering can, terracotta pot or a garden hod. After you've chosen your container, line the bottom with floral foam.

Step 2

Cover the floral foam with a layer of green paper Easter grass.

Step 3

Add a live strawberry plant to your garden. If live plants aren't available, use a packet of strawberry seeds. Personalize the basket by adding a name on a mini chalkboard sign. You can also use this as a gift tag for the basket, or have fun with it and write "The Easter Bunny was here" or  "Hoppy Easter".

Step 4

Insert flower lollipops down into the floral foam so they stay upright.

Step 5

Add Shari's Berries brownie pops or another cute and fudgy treat.

Step 6

Make plastic strawberries by drawing seeds on pink or red plastic Easter eggs with a permanent marker. Scallop the edges of a 1-inch circle of green paper and attach it to the plastic egg with twine. Fill the strawberries with jelly beans or other strawberry-flavored treats.

Step 7

Finish it off by adding some children's gardening tools to the bucket so they can tend their new strawberry garden.
