Tuesday, January 23, 3:00 pm – Garden Club of the Back Bay Winter Tea

Each year we thank our members for their support with a Winter Tea, scheduled to take place Tuesday, January 23 beginning at 3 pm, when we will return to  The Courtyard Restaurant at The Boston Public Library. Overlooking the beautiful Italianate courtyard in the BPL’s historic McKim building, the Courtyard Restaurant is steeped in history and loaded with delightful tea selections. We mix and mingle from 3:00 – 3:30 , followed by a selection of tea sandwiches and sweets, and your choice of premium loose leaf teas. Members are invited to ask friends to join them, although we must charge a separate increased fee for guests. The Club underwrites a portion of the expense of the tea on behalf of our valued members. $45 for Garden Club members, $55 for guests. Our members will receive an email notice of this meeting. For more information email info@gardenclubbackbay.org.
