I want to feel calm and relaxed, kind of like my home is giving me a big hug,” Tori Wesszer tells us. “And I feel like the whole world needs that.”

To this end, the B.C.-based lifestyle coach, cookbook author and registered dietitian has launched a new line of springtime goodies for her Fraîche line, in partnership with Walmart. “It’s a garden-to-table collection,” says the 47-year-old mom of two. It includes “all sorts of items for the garden, from watering cans, gardening tools and adorable little pastel stakes all the way to the table in your home.”

Being part of the design and development was “such a wonderful, enjoyable process,” says Tori. “I feel like it’s so energizing, so fun. I am honestly kind of squealing. I’m a creative person, and it’s just so much fun getting to do this. It’s a real dream come true.”

Here, Tori shares expert tips and tricks on ways to elevate the table – and your outdoor space – to guarantee a special celebration in honour of Mom.
