Mom and I had tea in this very delightful and sunny garden dinning room. As we walked around to enter the front door there was many beautiful plants and a long gracious lawn to adore.
We are getting closer to the front door and here we took a peek through the lattice into what was Mrs. Butchart's private garden.
Almost to the front door.
And here we are. The glass in the door was amazing.
Inside the Dinning Room.
The garden room where we took tea.
Everywhere we looked we saw blooming potted plants, they were lined up all around the window ledges.
We were served a lovely variety of sandwiches and little cakes along with a candied ginger scone, for a warm treat we were served a sausage roll and a roasted vegetable and cheese quiche. Mom and I loved the berry trifle with Chantilly cream.
Now time for tea. Mom and I had fun wondering what story the tea leaves could tell us...
Mrs. Butchart would host lovely luncheons for the under privileged children. This picture was taken outside on the lawn area, behind it is what is now called the Dinning Room. The letter above is a thank you note that was so beautifully written. I just love the way the thank you letter was written in the year 1920. Click on the picture to enlarge.

I want to go there!!! It's beautiful!! that is what I picture a tea to be like...I would wear my victorian hat and walk through all the flowers and eat such beautiful yummies...and have such wonderful conversation with all the ladies. Thank you for all the pictures that looked like the perfect day...I wish there was a place like that here....hugs, Jennifer
What a great place to have tea. Love the story and letter as well.
WOW! That is fabulous! Thanks for sharing the pics with us...makes me want to travel!
Such an amazingly beautiful spot. I'm sure that your mother and you both enjoyed a wonderful tea. The candied ginger scone sounds like something I would like very much. It's interesting that Mrs. Butchart was a woman who "gave back."
What a charming restaurant! The food looks delicious.
