Summer is upon us, and what better way to celebrate than with a garden party? But along with the fun comes the responsibility of minimising waste. Here are 5 tips to throw an eco-friendly bash that's kind to the planet without sacrificing the good times:

Ditch the disposables

Plates, cups, and cutlery: Skip the plastic! Wild & Stone offers a fantastic selection of stylish and sustainable alternatives in our "On-the-go" section. From bamboo cutlery to reusable straws you can find everything you need for an elegant and eco-conscious table setting.

Decorations: Think beyond balloons! String up some colorful fabric bunting or decorate with potted plants.

Embrace reusability

Beverage service: Invest in a dispenser for homemade lemonade or iced tea. This eliminates the need for individual bottles and allows guests to refill their glasses.

Napkins: Skip the paper and opt for cloth napkins like our ORGANIC COTTON NAPKINS They add a touch of class and can be easily washed and reused for future parties.

Get composting

Set up a designated compost bin for food scraps. This not only reduces waste going to landfills but also creates nutrient-rich compost for your garden.

Wild & Stone's "Household" section offers compostable ORGANIC COTTON TEA TOWELS, which can be added to your compost bin after use.

Think "on-the-go" for waste management

Place small, labelled bins around the garden for compostable waste, recyclable materials, and general waste.

Offer guests reusable water bottles (they can even decorate their own!) to eliminate the need for plastic water bottles.

Source local and seasonal

Support local farmers and reduce your carbon footprint by using seasonal ingredients for your party food.
For storage, instead of tupperware and cling film, use BEESWAX REUSABLE FOOD WRAPS.

With a little planning and these handy tips from Wild & Stone, you can throw a fantastic garden party that's good for your guests and the planet!
