Longwood Gardens Conservatory - Hibiscus Blooms

Dolores and I always enjoy our visits to Longwood Gardens, in Kennett Square, PA. Current visitors will see and enjoy the annual Orchid Extravaganza and the thousands of beautiful flowers and plants in the Conservatory.

The Conservatory at Longwood Gardens is a very inviting travel destination on cold winter days. Take you family, with cameras in hand, and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Brookside Gardens is one of our favorite places to visit in Montgomery County, Maryland. Dolores and I like to attend the flower shows, the exhibits in the Conservatory and take walks through the gardens when the flowers are blooming.

If you live in the area and have not been to Brookside Gardens, now is the time to see and enjoy the Spring Exhibit that is now featured in the Conservatory. Admission is free and you will enjoy the experience. Brookside Gardens is located in the Wheaton Regional Park.

The photographs below were taken during the Dahlia Show sponsored by the National Capital Dahlia Society at Brookside Gardens.

Be sure to have your camera in hand to capture those special moments when you are out and about in your community or during your travels. Life is better when there are flowers to photograph.

When we experience cold winter days in Montgomery County, Maryland, it is a good time to think about places to go that are warm and colorful. Longwood Gardens, located in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, just west of Wilmington, Delaware is close enough for a day trip. This month, the Conservatory at Longwood Gardens is the location of their annual Orchid Extravaganza and the place to enjoy beautiful orchids and thousands of other flowers and plants.

If you live in the area, take your family on a day trip, with cameras in hand. If you live in another part of the country, add Longwood Gardens to your places to visit on vacations.

Be sure to have your camera in hand to capture the special moments in your community or during your travels.
