Event
Vanderbilt Garden Tea
The beautiful formal gardens of the Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site in Hyde Park, NY will be the site for a special event. A special tea will be held on September 11, 2016 from 2pm to 4pm. The event is in the spirit of the "Downton Abbey" era, the early 1900's. It will feature a selection of teas from Harney and Sons, catering by "Toni Ann", which will include tea sandwiches, scones, cookies and cakes. There will be live music, a guest speaker, and a runway show featuring beautiful and whimsical Toucan Hats. 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 move to 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. Would you consider wearing period clothing, party garden wear or even a fancy hat? It isn't necessary but it might be fun!
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.
