Continue ShoppingThe ability to just pick up and go meet with friends has to be the thing I miss the most about pre-pandemic life. Just the thought of grabbing a coffee or lunch with someone I enjoy company with gives me pause. And then usually a sigh. The kind my mom used to make when she reflected on times gone by. You know the one that was quickly followed by a reminiscing speech about how things aren’t as simple as they used to be and how my generation doesn’t value things the same way…I find myself making the same speech every so often, and can hear my mom every time.
This past summer in our Cut Your Own Bouquet Garden we tried something new. We created a space large enough to hold a small group for a picnic. We were approached about hosting a birthday party in the garden so the group could cut flowers and bring their own picnic. I thought it was a great idea. Maybe because I wanted to go to such a place myself. But what a fun time they had. Our garden was full of conversation and laughter all afternoon. It was only meant as a trial, but we could quickly see it brought smiles to everyone’s face so we are making a dedicated space with it’s very own private garden for 2022.
Day 22 in our 24 Days of Giveaways features a Cut Your Own Experience for six people in your own private garden. It makes me smile just thinking about it. A totally immersive flower experience with close friends or family with your own picnic. Oh, and did I mention we will take care of the picnic part too?

I do miss meeting up with family members. We are a large yet close family and I love them all so much!

I miss gathering with friends around the table! My husband and I love to host, and gather with friends, family and loved ones. In the time of the pandemic, we purchased our first home, and have been dreaming of hosting a house warming party! Nothing brings me more joy than gathering together, sharing a meal, and laughing the night away.
A picnic in a flower garden with friends would give us the chance to gather, just in a different more beautiful spot!

I miss going to church. I know mass has been celebrated in person for quite some time now but I have never really felt safe returning to the physical building. I have forgotten how much comfort it brought me…

I miss cultural outings, like dressing up to go to the ballet or theatre and experience the sight and sounds of the audience and orchestra.
