This year is Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubllee, in celebration of her 70 years as Queen. This makes her the longest reigning queen in British history! The Royal Heritage Society and the Daughters of the British Empire planned a wonderful event on the lawn at Ormiston. The weather was outstanding, attendees brought delicious food, and a good time was had by all. Read more about it under “Mansion News.”
Flower-wise, we were delighted that we could make 30 vases of flowers from the Ormiston gardens! We used bouquets of mint, sprinkled with red, white and blue flowers. The garden volunteers also provided activities for kids: Pin the Purse on the Queen; Make a Crown; See Queen Elizabeth coins from countries around the world; and practice Croquet.
