Thanks to the generous donations of the many guests that went through on the day, more than $800 was raised for the patients at the hospital.
Although the event was one of many happening at Campbell Town on the day, organisers were happy with the amount of people that were supporting the cause.
Event organiser Heather Lewis hosted the fund-raiser at her house at Campbell Town.
"A lot of roses were out at my house and the fairy garden was a bit of a treat for people," Ms Lewis said.
"We had a fair few people come through right up until the end of the day. It was just a real afternoon tea."
Borrowing some items from the hospital, guests were able to drink out of matching antique teacups and saucers.
"A lady came up from Tunbridge and said how wonderful it was to drink out of real cups and saucers that were all matching," Ms Lewis said.
"We have really antique and expensive ones that belong to the hospital and people loved that."
Businesses, including Allans Garden Centre Prospect, donated plants for visitors to buy on the day.
The Campbell Town Hospital Auxiliary works towards providing extra items for patients to make their stay more enjoyable.
With equipment often costing thousands of dollars, the organisation needs as much help as it can get.
"We always buy things to be used by the patients," Ms Lewis said.
"I think the patients really appreciate a lot of the things we get for them.
"We've bought some monitors that take people's blood pressure and we bought new ones so they can take young children and tiny babies' as well."
The auxiliary has not yet decided how it will spend the $800 raised on Saturday.
After the success of this year's event, Ms Lewis confirmed the event would be back next year.
