Tea, flowers and friends await you at Summersweet Garden Nursery in East Hardwick, formerly known as Perennial Pleasures Nursery. Rachel Kane started Perennial Pleasures in 1980 when she was still a college student at the University of Vermont. She championed rare heirloom flowers and ran the nursery out of her family’s 1840s brick home. In the mid-1980s, Rachel’s British mother, Judith Kane, started serving English cream teas to visitors in the gardens. Produced by Seven Days.
