Botanical Gardens

The Botanical Gardens is a space open to the public; home to a gorgeous conservatory, with a music room, a small area for parties, and large, lush greenery. The gardens and several select rooms of the former family home are open to the public for the first time in the winter of 192x following the death of notable Society widow and philanthropist, Lois Earl. The gardens contain a series of water features and an extremely large atrium, all of which are bedecked for the upcoming holidays. The trees are draped with tinsel and silver ornaments, the hearth fires inside are crackling merrily, and everyone is in a festive mood. When the chill becomes too much, the fires are ready, as are the displays within the humid and divinely lit greenhouse. It isn't terribly crowded, as it is still early in the holiday season, but those who are there occasionally find themselves breathless with the wonders in front of them. The site is home to a gorgeous conservatory, with a music room, a small area for parties, and large, lush greenery. Mrs. Earl had a passion for orchids, and her favorites were warm yellows, oranges, reds, and purples.Longwood Gardens
