Incredible Edible Tea Party
About
The tea party can be found in the Rose Garden at the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew. It is part of their Incredible Edible summer festival, which launches on 25th May 2013 and runs until 3rd November.
The tea party is a project conceived and created by Kirsti Davies, a community artist based in Hackney, London. The oak table and chairs were designed and built by Giles Thaxton, a craftsman based in Mid-Wales.
If you have an enquiry about the table please send an email to kirsti.davies@gmail.com or call 07731 983215
