Longwood Gardens In Spring - The Flowers

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!
