For even more garden inspired party ideas, check out these posts from some of my favourite bloggers;

Food & Beverages

Serve Ali’s delicious Homemade Lemonade as the beverage of choice at your garden party.

Or serve some herbal marshmallow tea. Via My Little Bookcase.

These Savoury Snail Scrolls from Mother Natured are sure to be a hit.

These Garden Flower Cupcakes are gorgeous. Via Sun Scholars.

You could always present your party food in a picnic box like these from My Little Bookcase.

Decorations

Decorate your space with a pretty bunting made from vintage floral sheets like this one from Little Eco Footprints.

Activity Ideas

Make flower fairies and other colourful collage creatures as a simple themed party activity.

Younger children will enjoy sensory play with Rosemary Rice.

Put out some Lemon and Rosemary Scented Playdough and these Garden and Growing Printable Playdough Mats from Picklebums.

I love the Nature Crowns featured at The Craft Train’s Enchanted Forest party.

These paper bag crowns from Happy Hooligans could easily be adapted to a nature crown as well.

Create a flower shop for imaginative free play.

Instead of a treasure hunt why not play an animal tracking game with these printable animal prints from Mother Natured.

The vintage sheet fort and gorgeous sunhat play station at this garden party are simply lovely. You could even invite the children to decorate their own sunhats. Via Paint on the Ceiling.
