To celebrate the first day of spring, well known chefs and garden experts recently hosted a spring Garden Party at a local Home Depot store, 11905 SW 152 St. in Deerwood. Attendees created their own herb garden projects, sampled garden-fresh dishes by famous chef Amy Pennington, received expert advice on successful Miami gardening and learned how to use the latest outdoor power tools.
