GARDEN VARIETY Up your hostess game and wow your guests using fresh herbs and flowers found in your garden. For this pretty DIY project, I tied up a plain white napkin with twine and inserted a few sprigs of fresh chive flowers for colour and popped in a fresh mint leaf for good measure. Now all you need is your company to arrive. Chives are one of the easiest and hardiest herbs to grow either in the ground or in patio pot. They have a delicate onion flavour and make nice addition for topping for salads, baked potatoes, soups, or omelettes. The fresh greens are best left uncooked. The delicate pink flowers are not only beautiful, they are also edible. Bon Appetit!
