Put on your fancy hat and your walking shoes and join the Wake Forest Garden Club for its annual Mad Hatter’s Tea, Garden Market and Garden Tour.
The festivities are on Saturday, May 9, and are at the Wake Forest Historical Museum at 414 North Main Street in Wake Forest. The Tour, Garden Market and Classic Car show begin at 10 am. and go until 4 p.m.. The plated tea will be served from 11 am until 2 pm.
This year the theme of the tour is pools, barns and backyard retreats, and all 10 gardens are located in or around the North Main Street Historical District.
Pottery, jewelry, paintings and other art will be on display and available for purchase in our Garden Market, along with locally grown plants.
Local classic car aficionados will have their prized vehicles on display and will be happy to share experiences and expertise with you.
As a special treat, the museum will have a traveling Smithsonian exhibit entitled “Hometown Teams: How Sports Shape America.” The exhibit is free and open to the public, as are the Garden Market and Classic Car Show.
Tickets can be purchased in advance from any Garden Club member or at The Cotton Company. Tea and Tour tickets are $25 in advance and $30 on the day of the event; tea-only or tour-only tickets are $15 in advance and $20 on the day of the event.
