SPONSOR OPPORTUNITY
GARDEN TEA 2024
Our fourth annual Garden Tea will welcome ~130 women on May 30th for education and fun, starting with beverages up on our historic terrace surrounding the well which was raided by Tories in 1781, followed by a “tea lunch” on the Homestead lawn, and then a lecture in the barn featuring photographer, author and Architectural Digest contributor, Pieter Estersohn. He will discuss his new book, Back to the Lane: A New Way of Life in the Country. We are excited to hear how people are choosing a life style today that is similar to the lifestyle of the early Mathers - think foraging, cheesemaking, beekeeping, orchard tending, vegetable gardening and more.
Sponsorship offers a great marketing opportunity with the ~130 attendees.
