Our 4th annual garden tea will be held rain or shine. The event is in the spirit of the "Downton Abbey" era, the early 1900's. Would you consider wearing period clothing, party garden wear or even a fancy hat? It isn't necessary but it may be fun!
The event will take place under a tent in the Vanderbilt garden, unless heavy rain is predicted. (In the event of heavy rain, the event will be held at the Wallace Center at the F. D. Roosevelt Presidential Library.)
Parking will be at the main visitors center and there is a moderate walk to the gardens. Very limited transportation will be available. Handicap access is available by pre-arrangement.
The F. W. Vanderbilt Garden Association is an all volunteer group. All funds raised by the tea will be used to help fund the planting and maintenance of the gardens. After the tea, we hope many of you will stroll through our beautiful gardens.
The Plant Sale will offer an array of plants from the Xeriscape Garden itself, plus perennials, shrubs, trees and even houseplants grown by the Master Gardeners! Proceeds benefit the CCEUC Master Gardener program.
Cash, check or credit cards (Visa or MasterCard) will be accepted at the sale, which will be held rain or shine.
