The long awaited completion of the expanded areas of Longwood Gardens is now complete.
The brand new West Conservatory, Cascade Garden, Bonsai Courtyard,
1906 Restaurant and Fountain Room are open.
The expansion has brought to life many new structures, gardens and walking paths.
There is so much more to see and do here now, as if it weren't enough before.
Outside, the displays and colors of the flowers would take your breath away.

And I really enjoyed the new Bonsai Courtyard...so much so, I forgot to take pictures.
The Cascade Garden was very pretty but temperature controlled and it was a tad too warm for me!
The Waterlily Display opens during the summer of 2025.
Several days ago, we tried to make a reservation at the 1906 for dinner but it was all booked up.
This was an amazing day, the weather was perfect and so was the company!

Hello,
It does look like a wonderful day, great photo of you two!
The flower images are all gorgeous, well done.
Take care, enjoy your day!
Glorious! The colours, the shapes! The purples must have made your heart sing! Perfect!
While the flowers are beautiful, I am in awe of your photographs. The way you captured the color and the detail of each flower and how the others were muted in the background. Great job!
we have few daffodils and tulip plants ..... they have beautiful flowers.....
Thank you for sharing your fantastic photos.... love them all
Gorgeous captures. I live all the intricate details.
WOW WOW WOW
Fabulous collection of photographs.
Such a wonderful place to visit.
All the best Jan
Oh my gosh, Debbie, that place is beautiful, isn't it? I was intrigued by the purple primroses, never saw those before, so pretty. Do they have weddings there? Sure would be a gorgeous location. Love the picture of y'all, so cute! Love all the flower pictures.
OMG. I officially love them all. I've never seen the crown one before or the primrose. So cool. Flower garden is on my to shoot list.
I think spring gardens are my very favorites!
Gorgeous!! Your photography is incredible, Debbie.

as wonderful as it is seeing all the blooms at Longwood, the final photo of you both was just as sonderful. I especially liked the purple blooms and the tulips. It's been years since we visited these gardens and unless we visit friends in PA it may be a long time until we return so I appreciated that you shared your visit 🌷.
Gorgeous displays of spring flowers, wow those primrose are just gorgeous aren't they, such detail and your favorite color too :) I have never seen anything like it either. The flower just after is lovely too! That hybrid Azalea is awesome, would love that!
Glad you enjoyed a wonderful day!
