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?

A picnic in a lavender field (garden) is a taste of how heaven would feel. The aroma, the atmosphere, taking in everything that I possibly can, would be a dream come alive.

I really miss being able to attend in person workshops. I had looked forward upon retirement to finally have the time to explore some more classes or workshops on floral design, foraging, woodworking, fabric dyeing with native plants. Most of this sort of thing had been cancelled or held virtually. Can’t wait to get back to engaging in person.

Just a hug.
Honestly I just miss hugging my friends. The big hugs where are you squeeze really hard and rock back-and-forth while laughing. That’s what I miss! Good question!

The thing I have missed most is family gatherings. My sisters and I used to get together for lunch or dinner and the first thing we did was to walk around the garden of the hostess. We loved to take road trips for garden shopping, too. I love your idea for a group area. I can’t think of a better place to spend an afternoon than in the garden.
