Members of the Penn Cumberland Garden Club recently gathered in the gardens of The Rosemary House to enjoy an Afternoon Tea 'Picnic'. With the county still under 'yellow' conditions, members were able to enjoy a picnic tea outside, social distancing, and with masks on when wandering about the garden. Seating was available under the pavilion, in the gazebo, and scattered about the garden. The time frame was from 10 am - 2 pm, so attendance was spread out. Many enjoyed their Afternoon Tea in the garden, while others opted to carry it home.
The menu included an assortment of tea sandwiches; Queen Adelaide, Pimiento Cheese, Southern Pecan Party Sandwich, and Almond Chive Egg Salad Sandwich. A Lavender Sage Scone was served with sweet cream and jelly alongside a small fruit cup. Dessert included a carrot cake mini muffin and a rosemary cookie. Iced beverages included a choice of Unsweetened Black Tea, Sweet Mint Tea, or a Triple Lemon Herbal Tea.
It was a casual, relaxing day offering an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the garden, good conversation among friends and a fun boxed Afternoon Tea provided by Sweet Remembrances.
This is awesome! Looks like everyone had an enjoyable time with the tea affair.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful thing to do. How I would have loved that menu and time in your garden.
