Back Alley Garden Tour & Tea

The Back Alley Tour & Tea is a self-guided walking tour of some of the most beautiful gardens in Shepherdstown. It's a chance to walk through the back alleys of town where you will find new ideas for your garden, learn some history and explore the neighborhood.

After finishing up the tour, or when you need a break, head back to The War Memorial Building for an afternoon tea party you won't forget! This elegant tea party is the best way to relax and talk about your favorite gardens while enjoying hot or cold tea served in unique teacups and saucers with some delicious homemade savories & sweets made by the best bakers! After the tea, feel free to visit your favorite gardens again or stroll through the shops in town!

The Back Alley Garden Tour & Tea is an annual event that takes place on Saturday and Sunday, the third weekend of May.
