In the middle of the gardens, you will find The Secret Garden Restaurant.
During my 2011 visit to The Secret Garden Restaurant, we sat outside at one of the patio tables where we had a fantastic view of the Falls while I enjoyed my scones (not pictured) and cup of tea!
At our June tea social at the office, we celebrated Canada Day. I brought in these cute strawberry cups and saucers by Cath Kidston. These "breakfast cups" were fine bone china and larger than your typical teacup.
The Canadian-inspired teas included: Birthday Cake and Red Velvet Cake (top); Blueberry Icewine, Maple green tea, and Maple Earl Grey (bottom).
At home, I enjoyed a "Canada" cookie with a mug of Blueberry Icewine black tea.
Happy 148th Birthday, Canada!
I'm joining the following parties this week:
I never tire of visiting Niagara Falls and a walk through the gardens is always a must.
ReplyDeleteYour Canada Day June social at work looks like it was a success with the theme and I like your maple leaf cookie you had at home.
Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday Margie.
Such a fun tea party. Happy Canada Day (on Wednesday).
ReplyDeleteI have never been to Niagara Falls, Margie. We had planned to go when our son was at U of T but we never did get there. Pity! You have wonderful socials at your place of work. The variety of tea would be interesting. Happy Canada Day and enjoy the celebration!

What a wonderful idea to celebrate Canada Day with your office members. The cups and saucers are so beautiful and the strawberry pattern is so sweet. Your photos of Niagara fall are very similar to some we have taken when we visited the falls on the Canadian side, We just love the restaurant there and the great views. Thanks for sharing the lovely photos and the special tea time!

It looks like you enjoyed a Happy Canada Day, Margie! I was lucky enough to visit both the American and Canadian sides of Niagara Falls with my parents, years ago.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful strawberry teacups you've shared with us and such an array of delightful teas!
Hi Margie! Happy very late Canada Day! I don't know how I missed visiting you last week. I haven't been to Niagara Falls yet--your pictures (and your friend's pictures) look lovely. Man, I wish we had monthly teas where I work! The menu sounded like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteOne of my best memories in Ontario is in the Niagara Falls, beautiful nature indeed.
