Come be a pollinteer! A new pollinator habitat is going in at Longview Farm this June.
We’re planting native flowers like milkw**d, bee balm, goldenrod, and asters, chosen to bloom across the season and feed the bees, butterflies, and other pollinators that have been losing ground in Chester County and across Pennsylvania.
We’d love your company for the first workday in mid-June. No experience needed. Food and conversation included.
The sign-up form link is right here as well as in the first comment of this post.

There’s a pollinator habitat going in at Longview Farm this summer, and we’d love to have you join us.
We’re planting a patch of native species like milkw**d, bee balm, goldenrod, and joe-pye w**d. They bloom across the season and feed the bees, butterflies, and other pollinators that have been losing ground in our region. A field like ours, planted with care, becomes part of a network of habitat patches across Chester County.

The first workday is in mid-June. Come spend the day at the farm with us. We’ll have food and good company while we work, and what gets planted now will keep growing here for years.

If you’d like to be part of it, fill out the interest form. You can find the link below or in the first comment of this post.

We’re featured on BrandywineValley.com — and we’re celebrating with something worth the drive. 🌿

Brandywine Valley is one of Chester County’s most beloved destinations for art, culture, and the kind of places that feel like they’ve always belonged here. Being recognized as part of that community means a lot to us.

This Saturday, June 7, join us for the midshow reception of Art and Legacy — our third exhibition of the year, and one of the most meaningful we’ve hosted.
Alfred Newell Bradley Jr. brings his late mother’s paintings into the gallery alongside his own wood creations — two generations of creative work, in conversation for the first time.
His mother, Evelyn Cleopatra Facison, was an artist, entrepreneur, and gallery owner in Philadelphia whose career spanned continents and disciplines. Her work studied at PAFA. Her legacy is still unfolding.

Friday, June 6 · 5–8pm Longview Farm · Chester County

Come see what a family story looks like hanging on a wall.

The current exhibition “Art and Legacy” presents a retrospective of the late Evelyn Cleopatra Facison, an artist and gallery owner whose career unfolded across multiple mediums, names, and roles. The 2D works on view were created by Evelyn under various surnames associated with different periods of her life.
 
Primary source materials document Evelyn’s activity as both an artist and a cultural organizer in Philadelphia and beyond. Legal records from 1968 confirm her operation of Facison’s Art Gallery in Philadelphia, establishing her place among the earliest Black women to own and operate an art gallery in the city. Contemporary newspaper and magazine coverage trace her exhibitions, public recognition, and visibility across civilian and military contexts, including features at Fort Monmouth in New Jersey.

The Midshow Reception is next Saturday, June 6th from 5-8pm! And live music! There will be a Q&A with Evelyn’s son, Alfred Bradley Jr (who made the wood pieces included in the exhibition). Come on out ☀️
