Longwood boasts four acres of heated greenhouses in addition to more than one thousand acres of outdoor gardens, woodlands, and meadows. We will tour the Longwood Conservatory, one of the world s great greenhouse structures, sheltering twenty indoor gardens and 4,500 types of plants. The conservatory was built beginning in 1919 and now houses an orchid section, a Mediterranean garden, a cascade garden, fern passage, bonsai, tropical gardens, orangery, and a camellia house, to name only a few features. After lunch at the adjacent Terrace Restaurant, we will receive a special tour of the research greenhouses and propagation facility from a member of the staff.
