As an appreciator of all the thought, purchasing, making, coordinating, and other work that went into the fantastic set up in the garden, I hold space for all the thoughts and feelings that you, and your team, and other organizers and makers may be feeling. As a viewer, and partygoer (to other venues), I say/add to the theme the other folks are saying in the comments: everyone at the party is enjoying themselves. They sound and look satisfied and glad to be eating, drinking, and comfortably sitting together chatting and enlivened by the friendliness of one another's company. What a great group to be a part of.
