Where do you plan to host your Great British Garden Party?
In my garden at home, the roses will be at their best
What sort of gathering will you have?
A tea party for friends, hope the weather keeps fine
What cakes and other food do you plan to make?
I think as a treat, a Red Velvet Cake which is rich and layered chocolate. Various sandwiches that I can make ahead, such as smoked salmon, egg mayonnaise and watercress, cream cheese and chive
How will you fundraise for the National Garden Scheme?
I will ask for donations and plan to have a competition of Guess the Herbs, eyes covered, handing individual home-grown herbs and guess the answer
