Spring has sprung! It's time to host celebrations both inside and out. To help inspire and organize your events, we have put together lots of spring-forward events. Scroll down for garden party ideas, fur baby events and monthly and daily celebrations.
Pick-Your-Own Flower Bouquet Bar
This event is an easy grab 'n go that residents will love. The blooms will brighten their homes for many days to come. Click on any of these gorgeous examples for more inspiration.
Sips & Succulents
The sips can be anything you like! From seltzer to tea, to cocktails. Succulents are available pretty much everywhere these days. Before stocking up on succulents or any plants that you give out at events, be sure to check if they are safe for pets and humans. Although the majority of succulents are safe for pets and humans, there are exceptions. Do an online search for more information.
