The Art of Afternoon Tea Sojourning

The Comfort of Tea & Books

Our Botanical Tea is a literary sojourn evoking the sense of place and purpose of our Botanical Tea Garden.   


Our inspiration comes from Victoria Magazine's The Comfort of Tea and Books. This keepsake volume of beautifully curated pages captures the essence of the Art of Afternoon Tea Sojourning.


We offer a gracious invitation to leisurely escape into the soul-soothing rituals of tea and books.  Our library is brimming with an abundance of gardening and well-being resources to set mindful intentions for a delicious self-care lifestyle.  Finding joy in taking tea, within an idyllic and enchanting plant-rich environment, can elevate feelings of relaxation and appreciation for the beauty found in nature.  


Program Notes:  This is an Edible Cultural Culinary Education Program (not a Tea Party, Catering, or Restaurant Service).  It's a quintessentially British inspired Therapeutic Horticulture practice. 


We serve TEA grown in England from Tregothnan Estates along with Tea grown in our Botanical Tea Garden celebrating the enduring power of international reciprocity.  


Afternoon Tea Themes are Literary. Dietary accommodation may be available upon request.  Book, Culinary, Horticulture and Garden Club private bookings are available.   

Well-Being Garden Design Workshops

Garden Sojourning, from our Botanical YOGA Studio, to the aromatic TEA GARDEN and TEA ROOM tucked away in a Botanical Library, we offer curated sojourning itineraries.


Well-Being Garden Design offers a gentle invitation to move through seasons of change in our life, and in nature. Its aesthetic approach and design principles can nurture our nature, cultivating self-awareness of our unique creative intuition and need for self-expression.  This holistic approach to well-being is rooted in nature, it fosters an atmosphere of charm and tranquility in harmony and balance with nature to support a creative lifestyle emphasizing bringing botanical touches to the garden, the home, table, and workspace.  


Culinary Herb School Botanical Style is a practice that can deepen our relationship with nature, encourage us to eat outside, plant a garden, enjoy visiting parks and gardens, engage in botanical walks, and to enjoy tea and botanical books with like-minded friends.
