Private garden-and-home tea outings
Visit private gardens, then take tea at the guide’s home
Charleston Tea Party Private Tour / Laura Wichmann Hipp
Hipp invites small groups on a personally guided route into selected friends’ private gardens, followed by tea served at her own Charleston home. Her reservation invitation describes a silver tea service and conversation after the garden visits, rather than a restaurant afternoon-tea seating.
