Box Lunch Garden Party

My Red Hat group met at the Nurenberg Gardens during the Art Fair last June. I offered to provide a picnic lunch for the event. I have enjoyed making box lunches for other events, and this seemed like a perfect opportunity to use my boxes and add my personal touch. I used boxes that coordinated with the bright colored linens and tied the boxes shut with colorful ribbon and a packet of wild flower seeds that had an inspirational message. I bought the boxes at William Sonoma and the containers for the fruit and pasta salads at the Lund's deli counter. I used a mini clay pot for mints and covered it with cellophane and tied it with a bright colored ribbon.
