This week I had the pleasure of attending a container party. A fabulous concept discovered and put together by two wonderful gardening co-workers. The idea is that each person is assigned a thriller (i.e., flower), trailer or filler and brings enough of that one item for each party go-er. It can be helpful to specify color themes - e.g., purple or pink thrillers, etc. At the party, everyone brings a container and plants each item. In our case, we had eight lovely ladies and seven great ingredients:
Everyone brought gloves and their own pots 3/4 filled with dirt.
With ingredients in hand, we got down to planting.
The result? Seven beautiful conatiners all using the same seven ingredients. Despite the identical ingredients, each container turned out differently, proving that every garden and gardener is unique.
p.s., homemade mojitos (with fresh mint from our host's garden) make a great addition to any container party!
