Tea Garden Plant List
Originally referred to as the ‘Coffee Garden’, the Tea Garden’s focal point is a Moorish-style tile fountain. Planting beds along the garden’s boundary highlight Camellias, while strongly scented tea olive is unavoidable when in bloom. Ornamental vines adorn the surrounding arbor, and the hanging baskets feature the garden’s phenomenal fuchsia collection.
