How to Host The Best Garden Tea Party

What You’ll Need

You don’t need to do anything fancy to have a fun tea party in your own garden. My daughter regularly asks for a tea party and sometimes our tea consists of toast and milk. I mean if you’re doing this on a regular basis with a child then you can’t be baking British tea scones every other day. Although they are so easy to make you probably could do them every other day if you wanted.

What you do need is some good recipes, sweet and savory, and some cute teacups. There are even cute paper tea cups that are good to use with little fingers.

Garden Tea Party Recipes

Rhubarb Tart

My mother is a great baker and loves to try new recipes. This week at our tea party we had a delicious rhubarb tart. It was beautiful but labor intensive to make and the rhubarb was hard to eat in tart form. I mean it was messy! But it was so tasty I didn’t even care that I had to lick it off my wrists and fingers and maybe even my elbow at one point!

We love to use the rhubarb from our garden. It grows so big and so fast it’s hard to keep up with it some times. That’s why we get creative with the things that we use with our rhubarb.

Cream & Scones

We also had English scones and homemade clotted cream. I have to differentiate English Scones with Mid-West American Scones because they are not at all the same. Fresh mint tea and adorable Honey Lavender Tea Spoons at our sweet table.

Lavender Honey Tea Spoon

Our Amazing Lavender Honey Tea Spoons are a must have at a garden party. They are so easy to make and such a decadent flavor. You don’t often get lavender flavored things but of course we love everything lavender here.

You may think that a tea party is a very girly thing to do, but don’t forget to invite the men in your life to your party too. Sure, the name might make them feel a little bit intimidated, but once they find out that it’s all about hanging out together and eating delicious foods, they’ll catch on quickly and start asking for tea parties too!

Do you have tea parties in your garden? Do you love to sit in your garden and just relax?
