Burroughs Home schedules two tea times
Two sessions of “Tisanes to Tickle Your Fancy” have been scheduled at the Burroughs Home on the banks of the Caloosahatchee in the River District of Fort Myers. The sessions will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 15 and 16, beginning at 1 p.m.
The program, presented by Beach resident Laurie Nienhaus, will explain the difference between a tea and a tisane. You’ll learn the difference as well as the health possibilities that tisanes have to offer while sampling five different styles. The cost is $28.
