JOIN US FOR TEA & FRIENDSHIP TO KEEP VERGENNES IN BLOOM!
After a successful 2025 CommuniTEA Fundraiser that netted $1,300 for the downtown gardens, we are back for 2026! Seating is limited to only 30 guests so get your tickets now!
Your $65 ticket includes:
• A DONATION to the Vergennes Partnership’s Flower Fund. This year’s priority project will be upgrading the City Hall
entrance gardens.
• An AFTERNOON TEA SERVICE with delicious products provided by our local sponsors listed below.
• A chance to win BEAUTIFUL PRIZES!
• A special GIFT BAG for all guests with multiple handcrafted items!
Come alone or with a group—it is open ‘community-style' seating to inspire conversations with old and new friends. Learn about the proposed designs for the gardens and provide your feedback.
This year's CommuniTEA funds will be used entirely to enhance the eastern entrance into downtown. This effort will focus on a COMPLETE OVERHAUL OF THE TWO LONG-NEGLECTED GARDEN BEDS IN FRONT OF CITY HALL. The project will include removing several years of accumulated mulch, installing drip lines, planting a mix of low-maintenance perennials, potentially adding retention borders, and planting annuals for immediate impact.
With the Opera House's All-Access Project bringing significant improvements to the adjacent alley, it is especially important that the front of City Hall properly reflect the current character of the city. The gardens will be thoughtfully designed to complement the new landscaping planned in the alley—creating a more welcoming and beautiful gateway to the Little City’s downtown.
Vergennes Partnership designs, plants, and maintains numerous flower gardens, hanging baskets and planters throughout downtown. The Vergennes Partnership Flower Fund covers the essential expenses—planters, plants, soil, seeds, nutrients, mulch—while our dedicated volunteers contribute ALL the design expertise and labor.
