About Snowdrop Tea...You are invited to a special Snowdrop Tea at the historic home of Eugenie and Jonathan Shaw, Sandwich Village, MA. The Tea, which celebrates the first flower of spring, will begin at 2 pm with a tour of the landscaped grounds which feature drifts of thousands of snowdrops, one of the largest and most extensive collections of snowdrops in the United States. Accompanying the Tea is a delicious abundance of American and Norwegian desserts, prepared by Eugenie Shaw. The Tea will conclude with an auction of rare spring bulbs and snowdrops. Each participant will receive a gift of a snowdrop in bloom. All participant fees and auction proceeds will entirely benefit the endowment of the Shirley Cross Wildflower Garden of the Thornton W. Burgess Society, honoring Shirley Cross, a gifted botanist/gardener, and Thornton Burgess, the nationally-famous 20th century children’s author and environmentalist. This special Snowdrop Tea was mentioned in the Wall Street Journal in March 2010. Seating is limited to 25 persons on each of two days
