In celebration of the exceptional flora that is uniquely Amherstburg, the Town of Amherstburg and the Belle Vue NHS Conservancy will be co - hosting its first annual Rhododendron Garden Tea Party.
On Sunday, May 27, the Downton Abbey-themed event will feature two sittings – one at 11:30 am and the other at 3 pm in the Kings Navy Yard Park. Guests will be immersed in the beauty of Amherstburg’s nationally acclaimed rhododendron and azalea collection. The tickets are $30 each. Along with the scrumptious tea and savory fare, the event will feature a breathtaking garden dress display and a costume contest for women, men and children. Dressing in the period with your fascinator is encouraged! Tickets are available at The Dalhousie Bistro, the Gordon House or Amherstburg Sobeys and on line at https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/amherstburg-rhododendron-garden-teaparty-tickets-45659796681
“The rhododendron gardens are one of the focal points of Kings Navy Yard Park each spring,” says Mayor Aldo DiCarlo. “We will be honored to welcome visitors with the new garden tea program. When the gardens are in full bloom, it’s an amazing spectacle and at this time a year, a great Mother’s Day gift idea!”
