Ouma's Tea Garden generates funds necessary for the day-to-day administration of the Smuts House Museum.   The administration of the Smuts House Museum is an interesting model for cultural preservation in South Africa today. 

The Tea Garden is aptly named after the wife of General Jan Smuts.  A truly remarkable woman, whose position of First Lady did not change her simplicity, dignity and composure.
