Garden/Planting party ideas/inspiration

Whew! I have been out of it! Been fighting a bug, working on a secret project (wish I could tell you!!! maybe soon!) and digging a hole for a 20foot new cherry tree (HUGE HOLE!)!!! WOOT! I am so tired!

So since I am working on my garden here so I figured why not do a Garden party post!? Don't forget older, but still fresh!, Frosting for a Garden party - here.

Super cute take on a garden party! Love all the fake grass, bugs and garden items! Source

Go organic with the theme! Lots of kraft paper and paper leaves.  Leave pots for all the guests as placecards and favors.  Source

Spring Garden Planting Party Ideas/Inspiration

I love when Spring starts awakening everything! Our bushes and trees are blooming and mother goose is in her normal spot preparing for this year's goslings!

To kick of the season, hold a planting party!

Start with a rustic setup - use chicken wire, trellises, lots of greenery, pots and other items you think of when you think of starting up your gardens! Source

Have planting stations where you have all the essentials like tools, pots, dirt and plants... then other essentials like wine, cheeses and breads! Source

Use pots to hold silverware... use a paint marker to write on the pots or attach tags if you want to reuse the pots later! Source

How fun would these garden inspired cookies be for your guests?! Source and tutorial
