Garden Party Candle

Inspired by the early days of Topo Pino’s Summer School of Cookery, Garden Party evokes the charm of an open-air table set in full bloom—dahlias and magnolia blossoms spilling from vases, sunlight dancing through the trees, and the simple joy of gathering in the heart of the garden. Available exclusively in our 7 oz size, this candle brings a breath of lively elegance to any space, honoring a time when sharing good food and good company was both a celebration and a craft.

In the early 1900s, Janet McKenzie Hill—culinary pioneer and editor of Boston Cooking School Magazine—founded the Summer School of Cookery at Topo Pino. Each summer, she welcomed students from across the country to learn the art of seasonal living and the grace of a well-prepared table. Today, the Heritage Collection carries that spirit forward, inviting you to linger in the beauty of meaningful moments, rooted in history and made by hand.

Our Process

Every Topo Pino candle is hand-poured by our founder in Portland, Maine, reflecting our belief that the making of a candle should be as intentional as the moments it creates. After carefully cleaning and labeling each vessel, the eco-friendly cotton wick is placed, and the wax and fragrance blend—crafted from premium coconut soy wax and fine fragrance oils—is precisely measured and gently poured by hand in small batches.

Each candle is finished with a protective dust cover and thoughtfully packaged in a crisp white box—creating a clean, elevated unboxing experience that reflects the care poured into every candle.
