Garden Delights - Summer Entertaining!

I love entertaining in my summer garden. Whether it's an early morning coffee with a neighbor, lunch with friends, or dinner with family. I love using serving pieces that are colorful, easy care, and versatile. MIx up textures as well as colors - I use woven palm pieces, hand painted ceramics and bamboo inspired flatware.

Enjoy this wonderful mocktail from British chef and dad Jamie Oliver. Or if you prefer, for extra kick, add Pimms No. 1 Cup or Barr Hill Vodka
