Join us for Tea at Clermont Gardens

Updated: 1 day ago



Saturday, August 23
4 – 6 p.m. Clermont Walled Garden

1 Clermont Ave, Germantown, NY 12526


Tea at Clermont Gardens is steeping once again. Twirling parasols, clinking teacups, and laughter on the lawn—our most charming fundraiser returns.


Delight in tea and summery sips, nibble on savory sandwiches and sweet confections, sway to live music, and revel in the beauty of our blooming formal gardens.


And yes, we're bringing back croquet—because who doesn't enjoy a bit of friendly competition! All ages are welcome. Tickets are $60 per person for Friends of Clermont members and $75 for non-members. Children 12 and under are free of charge (just let us know they will be joining you).
