You can add colors to your garden party, too, by hanging a banner or two over it.
It doesn't need to be a large garden in order to throw a garden party. You can host a party in an apartment balcony or porch instead of a backyard.

A tent can be an excellent addition to a party hosted in the home, particularly if it isn’t located in the middle of the city. It's an affordable way to host a garden-themed party.
FAQ
How do I know what type of soil I have?
You can tell by looking at the color of the dirt. More organic matter is found in darker soils than in lighter soils. Another option is to test the soil. These tests determine the amount of nutrients in the soil.
What vegetables are good to grow together?
Because they are both fond of similar soil conditions and temperatures, it is easy to grow peppers and tomatoes together. They are a good match since peppers need colder temperatures to produce their best flavor. Plant them together indoors at least six weeks before you plant them. Once the weather warms up, transplant the tomato and pepper plants outdoors.
Do I need any special equipment?
Not really. All you need is a shovel, trowel, watering can, and maybe a rake.
