{top row, starting from top left}
Baby sage plants ready to be planted in a kitchen herb garden, sweet little violets with their cheery faces, time to eat! {the menu consisted of quiche, lettuce with garden-fresh greens, broccoli salad, fresh strawberries, homemade marshmallows, and chocolate mousse tarts with coconut shortbread crusts}
{middle row, starting from left}
homemade marshmallows with real strawberry and raspberry puree, a nice little gathering spot in my backyard filled with vintage metal chairs and various other odd items, potting up herbs
{bottom row, starting from left}
species columbine for exchanging, friends exchanging plants, wildflower seed packets for all to take home and scatter
The evening was filled with good food, lots of chatting, learning how to take and start cuttings, laughter, and really . . . too, TOO much fun!!!

I'm definitely planning on making this an annual event!

Happy Gardening Season!

1. I absolutely love and need some charming little herb garden markers! And what could be better than this Vintage Silverware Garden Marker Set from Wooden Hive!
*
2. This original signed photographic print entitled "Traces" by alice b. gardens is so soft and romantic, it makes me wish I had a lovely, distressed wrought-iron fence as beautiful as this one!
*
3. Everyone needs a sweet little gardening apron such as this pretty linen and doily pocket apron from Prairie Seed! So lovely and practical at the same time!
*
4. All the little birdies in your garden would love this White Shabby Chic Distressed Birdhouse from Cottage Rose! Great for all your feathered friends and so pleasing to the eye!
*
After working in the garden all day, it's time to show it off by hosting a Spring Garden Party!
*
Here are some absolute MUSTS for a relaxing evening spent with friends and family.
So, I'm off to seize the day by taking a refreshing walk, starting some herbs from seed, getting together some Mother's Day gifts, and maybe hanging out a bit of laundry to be kissed by the sunshine and light breeze!
Fondly, Kate
