Outdoor Entertaining Tips & Ideas

Summer is great for outdoor get-togethers and barbeques. This is the perfect opportunity to show off your landscape. Throwing a party doesn’t have to be expensive; whether it’s enjoying the outdoors with cheese and wine, a barbeque or a potluck. Set the scene with cut flower arrangements from your garden and great lighting; provide guests with plenty of seating, cool drinks and an opportunity to get out of the hot sun. Plan your party, prepare yourself in advance and do take the offer to help when your first few guests arrive. Remember, this low-key event is for you to enjoy as well.
Plant a Cut Flower Garden

Cut flower gardens; also referred to as cutting gardens are planting beds grown primarily for harvesting foliage, flowers and seed heads to make beautiful bouquets and flower arrangements to bring a piece of the outdoor landscape to the indoors. Select a nice location alongside a garage or at the back of your property. If there isn’t a space available to designate specifically for cut flowers, plant a variety of cut flowers throughout your vegetable garden or landscape. You will continuously cut the flowers and foliage to make bouquets, which makes a veggie garden a great space to incorporate your cutting garden. Some herbs with colorful foliage are very aromatic and make beautiful additions to garden bouquets.
