Posted by: Sweet Pea
Enjoy the last days of spring and get ready to welcome summer with the Garden Tea Party, starting June 14! Rosetta will have three quests once the party starts to help you get in the mood for the festivities. Rosetta will need your help with many different tasks -- if you complete all three quests, you'll get three different tea-riffic hats. Use these hats in the Tearoom and at the decorated tea tables set up in Neverfruit Grove, Sunflower Gully and Palm Tree Cove to earn badges, prepare tea, and share teatime treats with your pixie pals!
After the Minister of Summer is done with her work bringing summer to the mainland, she will join the party on June 21. She loves tea too, you know! Members will be able to visit the Ballroom to meet the Minister of Summer once summer arrives.
