It has finally arrived! The Gardens at the Manor project is about ready to begin construction of the beautiful healing gardens for Neshaminy Manor residents. The Foundation at the Manor has been working hard for several years to bring this large project to fruition. With the final approvals from the Pennsylvania authority, we are looking to start construction this summer.

The groundbreaking ceremony will be on June 2nd at 3:30 pm. We hope to have plenty of luminaries and press to help us take this exciting next step in the process to bring the garden vision to the residents of the Manor.

This year’s Arts Brunch was held on April 5th at Neshaminy Manor, and featured the art of local artists and food by local restaurants. The quality and variety of art has always been excellent, and this year was no exception., with art in mediums including oils and watercolors, tiles, jewelry, ceramics, clothing, print making and more. The food, prepared by the area’s finest chefs, was fabulous. Don’t miss next year’s event! Watch this space for details.

This annual event funds the Arts program, which brings in local artists to provide art classes for the residents of Neshaminy Manor on a weekly basis. The Foundation has held this brunch successfully for over six years.

Neshaminy Manor is located at 1660 Easton Road, Warrington PA 18976. Driving directions

This fundraiser was held to benefit the Gardens at the Manor, at the VE German Club, Davisville Road, Warminster, PA on Sunday 2/22/09. The wine, beer, and fabulous New Orleans cuisine served up by the VE club staff was included and drew raves from everyone. With a cash bar as well, there was plenty of libation to choose from. With the dinner, drinks, and the live band, an excellent time was had by all!

Special thanks to Zydeco-A-Go-Go for donating their time and talent to provide us with great music and fabulous entertainment! There was a washboard contest, and the crowning of the Mardi Gras King - Jack McDermott.

Our goal of $5,000 in proceeds for the Foundation was handily met due to the generosity of all in attendance. Thank you so much - the residents at the Manor will benefit greatly.

Everyone is asking to have this as an annual event! Watch this site for news! Read the rest of this entry »
