spring has sprung in Nemean Lion’s gardens!
as the beginning of march ushers in the next season, meet us in NL’s lovely gardens for an afternoon tea time to celebrate this spring’s first blooms…
while NL’s well-kept gardens are meticulously and carefully looked after all-year round, this time of year is always the most revered when it comes to the gardens. march signals the beginning of the spring and the year’s first real bloom as plants sprout to full life in the gardens. to celebrate, the events team is putting together a semi-casual but fittingly elegant afternoon tea time.
with the assistance of NL’s garden keeper, Oliver Armstrong, the events team has decorated and outfitted the gardens to resemble an outdoor high tea. there are ornate white lawn tables and chairs, adorned with doilies and tulle and sprinkled with stray petals. following the advised attire, members can be seen setting up teapots and dessert towers while clothed in pastel colors, florals, and laces befitting a true tea party.
the party will feature elegant finger food, desserts, and teas made with ingredients from the very garden they stand in. finger sandwiches contain herbs like dill and rosemary as they mingle with the cucumbers and tomato of the vegetable patch. delicious petit fours feature ripe fruits like strawberry, raspberry, and peach. of course, the stars of the show are fragrant and refreshing teas blossoming with the delicate flavors of rose, lavender, jasmine, and sakura picked from the floral beds. served hot or iced, they’re sure to be the talk of the afternoon.
come out on the first saturday of march and enjoy a stroll through the gardens and a sip of specialty teas. it’s the perfect weather to breathe in the first bloom, and the perfect time of year to relax…
