A tea party! Those are my favorite!

Great stuff you guys, I plan to make atleast one class soon!!
I attended a GardenForLife party last night and had a fabulous time. Kendra was wealth of information, and this comes from a woman who has been a gardener all her long, long life!
I plan to host my own GardenForLife party. It was so much fun and educational that I must share with my family and friends.
Thanks for everything,
Suzanne
