Listen Later

Planning a backyard barbecue or garden party this summer? In this episode, I’m sharing easy, no-fuss ways to elevate your July 4th (or any summer) gathering using herbs, flowers, and simple ingredients from your garden—even if your harvest isn’t quite rolling in yet.

Whether you're hosting, heading to a potluck, or just want to add a little beauty to your table, these ideas will help you use what you have in fun, creative ways that spark conversation and joy.

🌿 In this episode:

– Simple ways to infuse drinks with herbs or floral ice cubes
– How to make a fruit salad or charcuterie board extra pretty
– Herbs that help keep bugs away from your patio
– Easy compound butter ideas (bonus points if you shape them!)
– A gentle reminder that even small touches make a big impact
