Tea in Mrs. Mellon's Garden

Overview: Please join us this Mother’s Day weekend to celebrate the mother, grandmother or special woman in your life while enjoying the beauty of Mrs. Mellon’s spring garden. As muscicians play, indulge in a selection of fine teas and a variety of sweet and savory offerings prepared by our Chef Jason Neve. Garden party attire is recommended and guests should be prepared to walk .25 miles to and from the Formal garden across uneven surfaces and gravel. Please be sure to wear appropriate footwear. Tickets are extremely limited for this first time special event.

About OSGF: The Oak Spring Garden Foundation (OSGF) is a philanthropic foundation based at the former primary estate of the late Paul and Rachel Mellon, who were major philanthropists in the U.S. of the arts, humanities, and sciences in the second half of the twentieth century. OSGF is located in the northern Virginia Piedmont and Blue Ridge Mountains region (ca. one-hour drive from Washington, D.C.). Led by Sir Peter Crane, the Foundation’s inaugural President, OSGF provides short courses and supports residencies for artists and scholars. Its celebrated Library comprises rare books, manuscripts and works of art relating to horticulture, landscape design, botany and natural history. It is becoming a new center of stimulation of all things botanical, from fundamental research in plant evolution and conservation, to horticultural and plant conservation practice, to the history and art of plants, gardens and landscapes.
