Longwood Gardens in Spring, The Finale!!

I have done three entries on my Spring visit to Longwood Gardens.
If you missed any of those posts, they can be found here, here, and here.

Today, we will take a peak inside the Conservatory, landscaped beautifully for Spring.







With all this purple, it's like they knew I was coming! 

This is the Green Wall or Living Wall inside the Conservatory. 
This wall is a curving structure that consists of 3,590 modular panels mounted on steel framework. 
Each panel has a select variety of plants, about 47,000 plugs in total.
It is the largest green wall in North America at more than 4,000 square feet.
The doors on the left are restrooms.

We have annual passes so we visit here often and the gardens are forever changing.
Beautifully landscaped for whatever season, it is a must see, if you are ever in the area.

What a beautiful place. The only place similar to this I've ever visited was at Belle Isle in Detroit, but that place wasn't nearly as big as this looks.

They did a beautiful job inside there that is for sure, the yellow and purples together is so pretty!! The green wall is just amazing and they put all the different plants together perfectly, I bet it smelled good in there too! I love the tree with the white flowers, like how they have it trimmed and the landscaping around it, are those daisy's? Glad you had such a great day out!
