LONGWOOD GARDENS CHRISTMAS 2014 - Part 2

No words are needed to describe the exquisiteness of the indoor gardens, the conservatories, the detail and the beauty of the Christmas displays at Longwood Gardens, in Kennett Square, PA.  All themed to birds, eggs, nests, feathers, breathtaking………









Also known as "The most beautiful bathrooms in America" - vertical gardening at it's finest.  Even if you don't want to go, you just have to go, and even if you don't have to go, oh you WILL want to go!!!!!

SPRINGTIME IN LONGWOOD GARDENS, Part II

I only just made it - I planted my spring bulbs this year in the nick of time.  I am trying a few new bulbs, tulips, scilla, muscari - all in shades of purples, pinks, whites.  This is one small 8x8 growing box, but they are stuffed into a tiny area inspired by the sweeping walkway through bulbs and annuals at Longwood Gardens up in Pennsylvania.  I'm hoping for beautiful bulb abundance.  If you even remotely like gardens and walks in outdoor exquisiteness, Longwood Gardens is a must.  I have visited during each season, a number of times and I must say, spring delights in a way that only bright colors can, after the long cold and bleak winter.  As we approach winter, I hold on to memories of trips like this one on Mother's Day in May 2014, to keep me from getting total cabin fever.
