Philly Fling - A Garden Blogger's Retreat

 

Thursday, September 21 

We arrived at Longwood Gardens for an eight hour visit.   Longwood Gardens is large but we are having multiple events for our group of garden bloggers.  First we get a behind the scenes look at their production greenhouses.  Then a slideshow introduction to the currently under construction grand conservatory.

Longwood Gardens

One of the Fling's two "Superbloom Level" sponsors and also a big destination for the group of garden bloggers, Longwood really delivered.  Thank you for your support.  Our first stop on opening day was the production nursery for Longwood's conservatory.  A Dutch design with eighteen bays each with their own climate control is a dream to grow and a big expense to cover.  Here in September, they are gearing up for their Chrysanthemum Festival in October and November.
