Susan at A Southern Daydreamer hosts Outdoor Wednesday every week. I always save my outdoor pictures to share on this meme. Click the link to view more outdoor photos.Becky from Hospitality Lane invited all bloggers to attend a day with her at Longwood Gardens near Philadelphia, last Saturday.
I got to meet Becky, her friends and family, and Jill from Ribbon Challenged. Jill makes those beautiful homemade cards. Above is a photo of the girls. Mrs. Rabe, Beck's daughter, Becky, Jill and myself.
We met at the gate at 10:00. The day started out rainy, so we started our tour in the conservatory.
The Conservatory:
I know that in garden design, it looks better when planted in mass. I will just have to keep looking at these photos to remind myself.
Longwood Gardens is famous for all it's fountains.
The tree house is every kid's dream:
Purple Lacecap hydrangeas and white astillbe will definitely be an addition to my shady back yard.
By the time we completed our tour of the conservatory, the rain was stopping. We had lunch at the restaurant on site. We discovered that Becky and I had met once before at a wedding we both attended. What a small world.
Here is Becky and Jill.

I want my wisteria in my yard to be like this one, when it grows up. That's Jill checking out all the great plants.

Karen It really was great meeting you, and I hope we can someday get up in your area and meet at the places you suggested. I'm sure they are neat too. Have a great day!
Longwood Gardens was a favorite destination when we lived on the east coast. It hasn't changed much, though I believe the tree house is new. Your pictures are beautiful. Thanks for sharing them with us.
What a very beautiful place to visit! I just wrote down the astillbe myself, will be looking for that!
