Guests arrive to a table of market flowers, small plants and garden herbs, and each one chooses what to make. Some build a hand-tied bouquet, others plant a small open terrarium, and both go home with them. While the light softens, anyone who likes can blend a jar of herb salt. Then everyone sits down together at a long table for a slow garden supper, with a spritz made with or without alcohol.
