A Garden Party of Dreams: The Scout Guide New Orleans Volume 8 Launch Party

With the launch of every new volume of The Scout Guide New Orleans, there is an opportunity to celebrate our local business owners. Whether its shopping for the perfect gift or outfit or fluffing your nest for houseguests, its the small business owner who is always there to help you rise to the occasion, so its important to pause and thank them for all they give to making our community a beautiful place to live. 

To celebrate our local business community, I spend all year scouting for the perfect party venue. It was about a year ago that Hunter Charbonnet put the Kitchen in the Garden on my radar. It wasn’t until mid October that I made a visit to the space. It was the most beautiful evening, one of the first of fall. Javier Guiterrez was playing music in the Enrique Alférez Sculpture Garden and the kitchen was roaring. I knew immediately this would be the perfect place to unveil our new city guide and bring The Scout Guide to life. 

Our scouted caterer Patti Constantin is often behind the scenes at the best parties in the city, so this venue would allow for me to shine a spotlight on the amazing, innovative and delicious talent of her Designs in Catering team. Patti is so devoted to her work that this might be the closest I would ever get to having her be a guest at her own party!

Patti is known about town for her delicious food where she is committed to using only the finest ingredients available. Its lesser known that Patti can also be the event coordinator for your soirée. She has such an eye for presentation that it's ideal to have her take you from start to finish. Therefore, I asked her to help me create the ultimate garden party to highlight our new green city guide and the outstanding new venue in City Park. 

Upon arrival to the New Orleans Botanical Garden, guests were greeted with a lemon honey tequila drink in a handblown shot glass. They were then escorted through the vegetable gardens to the Kitchen in the Garden where the woodfire pizza grill was warm and the grill was on. The Scout Guide New Orleans Volume 8 made its debut alongside beautiful market lettuces and Louisiana citrus displayed with Alexis Walter’s newly launched fabric line inspired by her garden, and the glow from Julie Silvers’ new ceramic candles. 

Patti’s team created an divine menu which included three different grilled pizzas: lamb with peppers and feta, chorizo with artichoke and queso iberos, and olive oil, herbs, olives, and concassed tomatoes. Passed to the guests were prime beef tenderloin bites, fried eggplant with caesar salad, and shrimp kebabs. On display were avocado bites with jalapeño lime vinaigrette, cheeses and pickled vegetables. I loved hearing just how much fun Patti and her team had in this outdoor kitchen, and the guests enjoyed the interactive element to the party. 

Making his Scout Guide debut is Eli Gay of Freret Beer Annex who designed the “beer garden” and “wine vineyard” offering guests an opportunity to sample a variety of libations available in his Freret Street store. Given the cold evening, the red wine was the first to go! The wine selection also included organic wines from Swick wines.

The sweet treat was naturally New Orleans. New to The Scout Guide family is Aunt Sally’s Pralines which provided a tasting of their pralines and pecans. Aunt Sally’s has been scouted because of their commitment to creating pralines fresh daily, from a short list of quality ingredients, starring Louisiana pecans, Louisiana cane sugar, milk, and butter. 

Elements of surprise are always important at a party, but its typically the host who thinks and knows of such things. Unbeknownst to me, Leigh Ann Kalman, Editor/Owner of TSG Austin and Leigh Brown, Editor/Owner of TSG Forth Worth flew to town to celebrate this occasion. They joined Suzanne Dildy, TSG Park City who extended her stay after a weekend wedding and Caroline King, TSG Jackson who drove down for the evening. 

By far my favorite thing about The Scout Guide is the family, both locally and nationally. I could not produce this city guide for New Orleans without the support of the Editors across the country, my photographers, Paul Morse and Sara Essex Bradley, and my in house teammate Cara Ogg, the amazing small business owners who enrich my life, and of course, my friends and family. 

Special thanks is also owed to Paul Soniat, Executive Director of New Orleans Botanical Garden. He was such a joy to work with to plan the party that I would do it all over again in a heart beat. The Kitchen has only been open for a few short months and there has been an incredible lineup of programming, but I am excited to see all the amazing things to come to this space. City Park has so many new attractions, it is clearly the ideal place to celebrate our community. 

And one last thing before I sign off. At The Scout Guide, we say, “We believe everything you need to live a beautiful life can be found within your community.” Proof is in the dress that I wore that evening that my mother scouted at Victoria’s. Not only do the colors match perfectly, the emblem represented the Scout Guide seal and our evening under the stars. 

Pick up a complimentary copy of The Scout Guide New Orleans at over 100 locations throughout the city and enjoy discovering the best of local. Keep reading for more party pics by Sarah Becker Photography.
