GREEN

GARDEN PARTY

BY SUZANNE FOX

his spring go green
all the way – and
not just with color.
TReuse and repur-
pose items from your home as
decor for your next spring gar-
den party. Make table runners
from extra sheets, create place
markers out of oranges, put
lemons in a centerpiece along
with flowers from your gar-
den and paint old candlesticks
to match your theme. Try
scrumptious green recipes, like
our wedge salad with green
goddess dressing, green hum-
mus on toasted baguettes and
a refreshing spritzer made with
homegrown mint, for a green
party your guests won’t soon
forget. The simple decorations
paired with delicious recipes
create the perfect backyard
soiree setting.
