Gardening at Friendsgiving can be a fantastic activity, especially if your chosen family enjoys spending time outdoors and getting their hands dirty! Here’s how you might incorporate gardening into your Friendsgiving celebration:
Herb Potluck: Consider having a mini herb garden activity where each friend brings a small herb plant or seeds. Then, together, you can pot these herbs, label them, and distribute them among friends. It’s a lovely way for everyone to take home a piece of the gathering and enjoy fresh herbs in their cooking.
Decorative Planting: Get creative with planting succulents or small decorative plants. Provide pots, soil, and various plants or cuttings. Friends can design and create their own potted plants to take home as a memento of the gathering.
Bulb Planting: Fall is a great time for planting flower bulbs like tulips or daffodils. Consider having a bulb-planting session where friends can collectively plant bulbs in a designated garden area, ensuring beautiful blooms for the following spring.
DIY Garden Markers: Set up a crafting station where friends can create personalized garden markers. Use materials like wooden sticks, paint, and markers to make unique labels for plants or herbs.
Garden Planning: If it’s not planting season, you can still engage in gardening by planning. Discuss and sketch out potential garden layouts, exchange gardening tips, or simply dream up future gardening projects together.
Harvest and Cook: If you have a garden or access to fresh produce, consider incorporating a harvest element into your Friendsgiving meal. Friends can gather vegetables or herbs from the garden and use them in dishes prepared for the celebration.
Combining gardening activities with Friendsgiving not only allows everyone to engage in a shared activity but also creates lasting memories and a sense of unity through the joy of gardening together.
