Spend the afternoon strolling through the exquisite Gardens at Elm Bank, admiring a handful of vintage cars, and watching a match by New England's premier cricket league at "tea time." At 5:30pm, the doors to the historic Hunnewell Building will open to a Pimm's Cup, beer & wine, delicious hors d'ouevres from the Catered Affair, a vintage fashion display, and music by the Wellesley Symphony Orchestra's String Quartet
