Farmhouse Teas:

Join us in our beautiful 1905 Victorian Farmhouse at 12 noon for a traditional Tea Service which includes sandwiches, scones, pastry and hot tea. The meal is substantial, more like a "lunch." Vegetarian menu is available with advance notice. Bring a friend and combine your tea with a stroll through our lovely gardens. Many guests choose our tea room to celebrate their birthday or anniversary in a special way.

Guests age 12 and over are welcome. Cost is $30 per person, prepaid by check only. Reservations are required, and close 2 days in advance. Please note that reservations are non-refundable and cannot be modified, thank you.

Tour des Fleurs
Tour of Half Moon Bay Nurseries -- Yerba Buena Nursery is among those that you can elect to visit on your tour.

The Half Moon Bay Coastside presents its annual nursery tour. Each tour package takes you to three different nurseries. You drive yourself to each nursery in your package, and you enjoy a one hour guided tour. There are six different tour packages to choose from.

Most of the commercial growers presented in the tour are not ordinarily open to the public, so it is a special opportunity to see the "behind the scenes" secrets of their operations. Some will also share their colorful and fascinating family history and how it shaped their businesses.

Contact the Half Moon Bay Chamber of Commerce for details.
