NACOGDOCHES, Texas — Princesses from across East Texas are invited to don their best ball gown and sip tea with friends during the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Gardens' annual Little Princess Tea Party slated for Saturday, March 28, in the Stephen F. Austin State University Ruby M. Mize Azalea Garden.
"The azalea garden creates a magical setting for young princesses and fairies to celebrate the beauty of the land,â€� said Jocelyn Moore, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Gardens educational programs coordinator and tea party organizer. “This year, we will share a special message of stewardship with our princesses. Guests will enjoy building fairy houses from eco-friendly materials, upcycled crafts and gardening activities.â€�
One hundred tickets are available and split between two tea party sessions. Teatime snacks and drinks will be provided followed by fun activities, including story time and dance, led by Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Gardens environmental education fairies and pirates. The first session will be at 10 a.m. and the second at 12:30 p.m. Tickets are $35 per person and typically sell out.
The event is recommended for princesses 3 to 10 years of age who are accompanied by an adult. Tickets can be purchased online at sfagardens.sfasu.edu. Proceeds help support environmental education programs at Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Gardens.
