I’ve been to Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania a number of times, but I never got to go to the gardens at night to see all the Christmas lights. I finally got to go see the lights this past Monday and it was absolutely amazing! It turns out that the theme this year was fire and ice and it was demonstrated through the use of reds and golds versus whites and blues. One of the most fascinating things we saw was how the staff had lit an immense tree all in green. It was located quite a distance away and was highly visibly across a meadow. We wondered why it was the only thing lit up until we got into another section and realized that the tree was visible in the backdrop of another collection of lights! It looked like it was a part of the collection even though it was quite a distance away.
If you get a chance, I highly recommend you make a night of it and go visit the gardens to see the lights. We did the entire walk around the grounds and through the conservatory in about two hours or so.
