DIY Botanical Bar

As part of our recent Tomato Garden Party with Valerie Rice, we had Hands-on Sips (i.e. DIY cocktails)! This is a great way to give your guests an opportunity to interact with one another and the garden. Here we set up a Botanical Bar where guests can build their own gin & tonic cocktail using herbs foraged fresh from the garden. Snip, muddle and sip!
