Christmas in the Conservatory at Longwood Gardens – 2013

By Pattyhankins @PattyHankins

Every year Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania creates the most amazing Christmas displays. The displays fill the conservatories, DuPont House and grounds. Seeing the Longwood Christmas display is one of the highlights on my holiday season.

Each year – the display has a unifying theme which is woven throughout all the displays. This year’s theme was fruit.

I’ll be posting photos from the Longwood Christmas display in a series of four posts. Here’s the first set of photos – the decorations in the main conservatory.

The display is wonderful at every level – from the wide angle views
