Garden Party at the Library - Tea & Teacup Candles

It's Garden Party at Main Library in Hillsborough and everyone is invited! Tea party dress is encouraged but optional. 

Plant Swap & Crafts for Families and All Ages - 11am to 1pm | Stop by the meeting room with your extra seeds, seedlings, and divided plants to swap out! While you're here, have a mock mimosa, make an easy clay garden marker or bird feeder, take a mini tour of the Learning Garden, and learn about our new Green Literacy initiative to help people of all ages build relationships with nature. Note: For the plants swap, please bring only pest-free, healthy, and labeled plants and seeds in small containers that you are willing to part with. After the Garden Party, Plant Swap will continue upstairs as usual through May 31st. Drop by anytime to pick up or exchange plants and seeds.

Tea & Teacup Candles for Adults and Teens - 1:30pm to 3:30pm | Register for our annual tea and craft event for adults and teens! This year we're inviting attendees to sign up to bring a sweet or savory food. We'll enjoy tea and share the food everyone has brought while library staff guides you through creating your own teacup candles. Tea party dress is encouraged but not required. Feel free to bring your favorite teacup for tea sipping during the event! Cooking & Crafting History for the Nation's Birthday - In celebration of our country's 250th birthday this year, we've tracked down traditional recipes from the Colonial Inn in town as well as recipes from historic NC restaurants. Registered attendees who are interested can choose one of these sweet or savory recipes to make for tea party! Stop by the Adult Services Desk to peruse the recipes. We'll also have fragrant bayberry wax, used often during the colonial era, available to use while making teacup candles.

These events are taking place at Main Library located at 137 West Margaret Lane, Hillsborough, NC 27278.
