Tea in the Gardens 2027: A Most Proper Spring Affair
If you delight in a perfectly brewed cup of tea, splendid company, and gardens in glorious bloom, then Tea in the Gardens at Heathcote Botanical Gardens is quite simply the spring engagement to pencil into your diary.
Join us on Sunday, March 7, 2027, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM, for an enchanting afternoon nestled among the beautiful gardens at Heathcote Botanical Gardens, 210 Savannah Road, Fort Pierce, FL 34982. Expect elegant tables dressed in vintage linens, fine china, delightful conversation, and all the charm one would hope for from a proper garden tea.
Naturally, no Tea in the Gardens would be complete without a bit of friendly excitement. Browse our remarkable silent auction, enjoy our lively live auction, and admire the parade of fabulous hats as guests compete in our ever-popular Hat Contest. Whether your style is timeless elegance or delightfully over the top, we encourage everyone to don their finest topper and join the fun.
Beyond the teacups and laughter lies a meaningful purpose. Tea in the Gardens is Heathcote Botanical Gardens’ premier annual fundraiser, helping support educational programs, children’s activities, horticultural initiatives, and the continued preservation of one of the Treasure Coast’s most beloved botanical treasures. Every guest, donor, and sponsor plays an important role in helping our gardens flourish for generations to come.
