If yoy have been intending to see the Christmas display at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, you only have until January 6, 2013 to see this floral spectacular.

Whether in the conservatory, where a festive banquet table recalls past feasts held during P.S. duPont's residence on the property and all sorts of plants take the form of Christmas trees, outside strolling the grounds with trees bedecked with lights, or in the gift shop, where the shelves are emptying at a jolly pace, you will leave wondering how they will be able to top this next year. We paused for a while in the ballroom of the conservatory, where Longwood's organist was leading the crowd in singing Christmas carols--lending an even more festive mood to our visit to Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania.

Hi Carolyn

I have a whole group of photos of the organ pipes they have on display. I haven't heard it play but I would guess it is pretty awesome in the Ballroom.  The photo collage is wonderful as is your presentation. Beautifully done!

William--Periodically they have the insides of the organ on display (or a part of it) through large windows. It is humongous!  I have a CD of some of the music from the organ that I got as a gift years ago. Lovely! Thank you for the kind remarks!
