The idea
Set the table outdoors if you can, or bring the garden inside with potted herbs and a mountain of paper flowers. The magic is in the details: real teacups, tiny portions and a slow, gentle pace that lets little guests feel very grown-up.
How the afternoon flows
Welcome everyone with fairy wings and a flower crown, settle in for tea and treats, then send the guests off on a treasure hunt for the notes the garden fairies left behind. Finish with cake and a sing-along under the fairy lights.
