SATURDAY: Just For Kicks
FLOWER SHOWER
Do you know someone who is moving into a new home? Give them a “garden-warming” instead of a housewarming. Invite guests to a patio supper and “flower shower.” As their “garden-warming” gift, they have to bring a divided perennial plant – or many of them -- from their own yard, or bring a special plant to be added to the new garden.
It’s always fun to hear everyone’s stories about the plants they are choosing to share, and exchange tips on growing conditions, plant care, foliage shapes and sizes, blossom color and timing.
The party planner should give the honoree a sheet of paper with everyone’s names and what they brought, for future reference. It’s awfully nice to offer to help plant the plants, too.
For years, when the proud homeowner looks out over that “friendship garden,” he or she will think of each guest and feel the joy that comes from the special languages of flowers and friendship.
