Camellia Tea Room
Milner Gardens & Woodland is now closed to the public for the winter season.
Stay tuned,... we will update our hours and events as the dates are confirmed for our upcoming 2022 season.
Afternoon Tea is served with assorted baked goods and freshly baked scones served with Milner Gardens jam every afternoon when the Gardens are open on Thursday - Sunday from 11:00am - 4:00pm. Please scroll down for the menus.
The Camellia Tea Room is located in the drawing room of the historic Milner House, and is again offering limited drop-in seating when tables are available. Reservations are not required nor available at this time.
Please note: As we reopen for in-person dining, our seating capacity is greatly reduced and we cannot promise everyone a table in the Tea Room. We sincerely appreciate your patience!
Please continue to enjoy our Tea Room takeout service at one of the tables in the Gardens or at home following your visit.
Full afternoon High Tea service is not available at this time.

Plant Sales 
The Plant Sales area is open every day the garden is open.
Take home a piece of history by purchasing a plant propagated from the unique living collection at Milner Gardens & Woodland. The Plant Sales area offers a great selection of perennials, trees and shrubs, and native plants.
Plants have been propagated by a dedicated group of volunteers and all proceeds raised help support the operation of the garden. Members receive 10% discount on all plant purchases.
Be sure to check out the special events section and take note of our next spring or fall plant sale fundraiser. It is a great opportunity to pick up some fabulous plants at terrific prices and support this beautiful island gem - Milner Gardens & Woodland.
The Pool House Gift Shop
The Pool House Gift Shop is open each day during the season. You may browse through our good selection of garden-related ornaments, books, cards, stationery and souvenirs.
