HOW TO GIVE A GARDEN PARTY

I decided to give a "Garden Gathering" and invite all the old and new friends who have shared their gardens into my garden.
The first thing to do, is to get the garden into shape. This means get everything planted, do a little edging along the beds and sidewalks, pull as many weeds as you can, and trim all the plants to their best looks. The Ginger from Gaylon a few summers ago looks beautiful.......


This is the Verigated Hosta from Helen new this year to my garden, and adding bright spots throughout.

I made a couple of CDs of music about gardens and sunny days. (Elton John In Your Empty Garden, Beatles Strawberry Fields, Stones Daisy Jane and Poison Ivy, etc). The menu was Lemon Bars, Cookies from Tags bakery contributed by Michele, and some wonderful flourless chocolate cookies baked by Michelle. (It's nice when your Michelle friends spell their names differently!) No one drank the ice tea, so Lemonade and a Pitcher of Water is all you need. A colorful flowery table cloth, depression glass and old fashioned glasses and platters, and the party was set:



12:30 - 2 PM, 8 guests, and a lovely time was had by all:

Your garden party looks like it was lovely--sorry I had to miss it. Maybe we'll do it again some time.
