BLUEBELL TEA & GARDEN TOUR AT GREEN BRIAR

            Spend a beautiful spring afternoon at the Green Briar Nature
Center in East Sandwich as the Thornton W. Burgess Society with the Cape Cod
Museum of Natural History  hosts a Bluebell Tea & Garden Tour on Wednesday,
May 9.   Arrive at 2:00pm for a guided tour and history of the award-winning
Shirley G. Cross Wildflower Garden with an emphasis on Bluebells, both
English and Virginia.  Then enjoy rose tea and a catered tea sandwich and
dessert menu served inside the nature center. Bid on a unique wildflower in
the silent auction and bring home a gift of a lovely glass cup plate from
the Commemorative Burgess Animal Series, which featured animal characters
from the tales of Peter Rabbit and friends by Thornton W. Burgess.  Learn
why these small glass plates were once used for resting hot cups of tea in
place of the saucer and later became popular collectibles. 

             The fee is $35 with limited seating, and advance registration
is required by calling 508-888-6870.   All proceeds benefit the maintenance
of the Wildflower Garden.  The Burgess Society also wishes to publicly
acknowledge Eugenie and Jonathan Shaw of Sandwich for their past 18 years of
service hosting the annual Snowdrop Tea in their home benefitting the
Wildflower Garden Endowment Fund.
