It is west of Philadelphia, north of Wilmington, DE. It was started by DuPont. It is a very famous East Coast place to visit. I would compare it to Biltmore Estate in Ashville, North Carolina. But you can go here in the winter and see millions of orchids right now, at Christmas beautiful poinsettias, etc.

So they say. I was just out with the dogs. Glad I waited till I got inside to look at the temp; -2.

We've been waking up to -20 the past few days, made it up to zero yesterday! It's suppose to be 10 above today..a heat wave! This winter has been too long!

Thanks for showing these. I can just feel the humidity in the conservatory. I love Longwood Gardens.
