Cut the carrots and cucumbers into 2 inch lengths. Use a paring knife to make 4-5 small notches around the carrot and cucumber pieces. Then slice each one into 1/2 inch slices to form flowers.
Place the carrot flowers and cucumber flowers onto wooden skewers. Top the cucumber flowers with cherry tomatoes.
Cut the red bell pepper and the celery into sticks about the same length as the sugar snap peas.
Place the carrot and cucumber flowers, sliced radishes, sugar snap peas, red bell peppers, and celery into the avocado mixture to create a garden.
Then place the broccoli florets in the open spaces to create grass.
