Longwood Gardens





Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square Pennylsvania is having it's Fall Color Display from now until late November and my sister and I headed up there to check it out. I usually visit the gardens in the summer to see the perennials and again at Christmas to see the lights and holiday decorations. I wasn't sure what to expect in the fall. I found that there is still lots to see in the gardens, everything from late summer annuals to chrysanthemums. The displays of pumpkins and squash were impressive. The topiary bees in the conservatory were especially interesting. It was my first visit since the completion of the Children's Garden and that was stunning. Another new addition are the four treehouses built throughout the gardens. I highly recommend a fall visit to the gardens.
