Tea, Twilight & Togetherness at Reeves-Reed Arboretum this November
As the days grow shorter and the holidays draw near, Reeves-Reed Arboretum is serving up two cozy ways to unwind in November: the beloved Secret Tea Room and its popular Arboretum After Hours series.
The Secret Tea Room returns this month with its signature mix of elegance, nostalgia, and seasonal charm. Tucked inside the historic Wisner House, these intimate gatherings feature a curated selection of teas, sweet and savory bites, and a setting that feels like a step back in time. It’s the perfect escape for friends, book clubs, or anyone looking to slow down and savor the moment before the holiday rush begins.
For those who prefer their gatherings with a side of music and moonlight, Arboretum After Hours offers a fresh take on happy hour. Guests are invited to enjoy live music and mingle with friends or coworkers at this month’s “Friendsgiving Edition.” The evening includes lite bites, one complimentary drink with admission, and access to a cash bar for additional beverages and specialty cocktails.
Both programs offer unique ways to enjoy the Arboretum in one of its most beautiful seasons. Whether you’re toasting under the stars or sipping tea in a parlor steeped in history, November is an ideal time to reconnect with nature, friends, and community at Reeves-Reed Arboretum.
**And there’s more to come!** Stay tuned for “A Merry Month” in December, featuring a Holiday Open House with a sip ‘n shop market and photos with Santa, Merry Mahjong, crafting nights, wellness programs, and more seasonal celebrations around the Arboretum all month long.
