Party Thyme Quick Tip: Don’t Forget the Flowers!

Fresh flowers really add to the ambiance and enhance the dining experience.

It’s as easy as picking some flowers, herbs or decorative greenery from your garden. Or, if you prefer, pick up a bouquet at the farmer’s market.

Regardless of where you get them, the arrangement can be as simple as a small bud base of sweet smelling herbs like mint, basil or sage, or something more elegant, like peonies or tulips.

And they really are an instant pick-me-up. Who doesn’t love flowers to brighten one’s day?
