Here are some upcoming events at #OrmistonMansion:
Sunday June 5, The Queen’s Big Jubilee Lunch, 2:30pm on the Ormiston lawn. Queen Elizabeth has been queen for 70 years, which makes her the longest reigning monarch in British history! People are celebrating around the world. Read the official invite. Besides the luncheon, there will be kid activities on our side lawn including adding jewels to a paper crown, “Pin the Purse on the Queen”, taking pictures with a lifesize cutout of the Queen, viewing coins from Commonwealth countries, and helping yourself to a cupcake with a British toothpick flag!
Tuesday June 7 9am-noon Join Phlly Park Volunteers who will be gardening on the Ormiston grounds. Find out how you can be a volunteer gardener, or if you would like to try your hand with gardening. No experience needed, but experienced gardeners are valuable resources!
June 18 – July 16 – Aug 13 10:30-12:30pm Kids PopUp Workshops led by naturalist Leslie Gale, from Bartram’s Garden. Take a walk on the Boxer Trail, then do a related craft. Bring a picnic lunch and eat it on the lawn. Fun for all ages!
