After our tour, we will board a special tram, which will take us to the Stone Mill for our Victorian Tea. After lunch, we can elect to take a public tram, which is a 30-minute narrated tour around the Garden grounds. The tram makes several stops around Garden grounds, and guests can get on and off the tram. We can also visit the gift shop before departure.
The Victorian Tea menu consists of assorted tea sandwiches, scones, petit fours, and assorted teas. (Advance notice is needed if you have special dietary restrictions.)
