So what do you say we fill you in on our favorite keepsakes to make with flowers, herbs, and fresh fruits straight from your garden?

When spring rolls around, we start getting super excited for all the cut flowers, herbs, and fresh fruits and veggies we can grow right at home! In this post, we’re sharing our favorite ways to give your party guests memorable keepsakes straight from your garden!
When planning your garden, include flowers that will make great arrangements your guests can take home. Here’s a great list of cut flowers you can plant to get started!
Anyone who has ever planted an edible garden knows it can actually be hard to eat everything you grow! Which is why we suggest canning those fruits and veggies and giving them to your guests in darling little mason jars. They’ll be thanking you all year long for any one of these canned treats.
If you’ve ever checked out our signature Partytricks, you know we love options when it comes to decorating a table! For a lovely organic vibe, pluck some of your fresh produce, twist a few leafy branches off one of your trees, and style them together in a line down the center of your table. To top it off, invite your guests to take the harvest home at the end of the night!
If you’re growing herbs in your garden, send guests home with some cuttings of their own. Whether they transplant the roots to their own gardens or decide to grow them in the kitchen windowsill, they’ll always remember you by this gift that keeps on giving! Get mini terracotta pots like this for the cuttings, plant them in dirt, and place one at each guest’s seat!

Your party guests will walk away wowing at not only your hospitality, but now your green thumb as well.
