Please join us for a CommuniTEA Fundraiser to keep Vergennes in bloom!

Hosted by new business on the block, Gather Vermont, this event supports Vergennes Partnership's pursuit to keep our downtown blooming! We are raising funds to create and maintain those gorgeous floral baskets on the Otter Creek bridge and on our lampposts, and the Instagram-worthy gardens throughout downtown. Our ultimate goal? To make Vergennes a "must-see" destination known for its stunning flowers and plantings!

Your $65 ticket includes:
• A donation towards the purchase of seeds and plants for spring planting by Partnership volunteers
• A delightful afternoon tea service (see menu below) served by Partnership volunteers
• A chance to win prizes, including $100 in Vergennes Green, free wellness sessions with new local practitioners JoAnn Inserra and Michele Brookhaus (each valued over $200), and a physical therapy session with Addison County Therapies
• A whimsical and delicious gift for all guests to take home!

Plus, connect with friends old and new, and learn about the Partnership's 2025 downtown gardening plan.

What makes this tea event a CommuniTEA?
• Directly supports the beautification of our community
• Showcases the generosity of businesses in our community who have donated products and services for your enjoyment (see our sponsors and donors below).
• Features community-style seating at large farmhouse tables, designed to inspire connections and friendships.
