Comments Off on 5 Ways To Throw An Awesome Garden Party

Having a party at any time of year can be a lot of fun, but during the summer, it is possible to extend that party out into the garden. In the hot sun, plenty of cool drinks and nibbles can be the perfect way to have a good time, and by inviting friends and relatives it is possible to extend those good times and turn them into a proper celebration. Whether you want to have a few friends over for drinks because the weather is warm and your garden looks great, or if you have a particular reason to throw a party, a garden-themed party can be the ideal setting. There are several ways in which you can throw your party.

1) A barbecue

This is the ultimate type of garden party, and one that everyone is familiar with. The secret here is not to allow the party to go on for too long before food is served; it is also a good idea to make sure that the food is well cooked. Keep your guests cool by holding the party under outdoor patio umbrellas, so they can choose whether to stand out in the sun, or sit in the shade. These types of garden party are always popular, and they can be a simple but effective way of making sure that everyone has a great time.

2) Night Party

The hot summer days mean that the light lasts longer, and it is always possible to use low-level lighting so that guests can find their way up and down the garden. These parties are great, because they allow you to hold a party without the risks of heatstroke or burning which might occur during the day. Make sure to have a fire pit or other device to ensure that guests don’t get cold.

Jennie Garth is hosting a regular segment on iVillage called Garden Party, where a different vegetable is featured every month.

Jennie hosted a lettuce party where she encouraged children to make artwork from salads and says the best way to get kids eating healthier is to get them involved with growing veggies in the garden.

Jennie recently featured lettuce and gave a few tips for growing it.

She says lettuce heads should be started indoors and then transferred to the garden at about 11 weeks.

“Leaf lettuce needs to be spaced at least 8 inches apart, but head lettuce needs at leasts a foot. So get a-head and start thinking about growing lettuce with your kids.”
