Flowers Of April
The Calendars Flowers are
daisies and sweet peas which symbolize curiosity, playfulness and tenaciousness.
English Daisy  -  The flowers have a mildly bitter taste and are most commonly used for their looks than their flavor. The petals are used as a garnish and in salads.
NOTE: Flowering ornamental sweet peas are poisonous.

Party Planning:  Ideas & Tips:
Food Holidays make great theme parties.
Did you know you can make any food observance into a great celebration? Yes-u- can!
Ideas:  Host A Pretzel Party
Everybody loves pretzels so in honor of
Soft Pretzel Month why not host a pretzel party. Beer n' Pretzels just go together and it's easy to set up a snack table full of pretzel dipping condiments like mustard, melted cheese, bacon bits & butter. Don't forget sprinckles such as sea salt, sesame, sunflower, poppy, caraway or pumpkin seeds.

If you wan't to turn it into a meal.... go ahead and add cold meats or hot sausage links. You might even think about a bavarian breakfast.
Ideas:  Garden Tea Party
             National Garden Month means Garden             Tea Parties are at the top of the list of things to do. Need a great idea for a party favor? Well it has to be a small starter plant for the garden!  A nice added touch is placing a how to plant card with it.
