One of the many uses of cyclamen for an indoor
display. So this holiday season, enhance
the warmth of your home for family and guests with the plants you love in an
imaginative and creative way.
Longwood
Gardens once a private estate owned by Pierre du Pont, and today is an
internationally recognized horticultural display garden for the public. If you would like to learn more about

The
Professional Gardener Program started in 1970 at Longwood Gardens. I was accepted into this program and begun my first training in the world of
horticulture. A few years after
graduating from the program I returned to Longwood Gardens to work and was again
privileged to be a part of two seasonal committees: Chrysanthemum and
Christmas. The planning for these
displays are discussed and decided years in advance.
I hope these
photos will give you inspiration this holiday season and keep your season joyful and warm.
Just saw your Longwood Gardens article. I spent two summers as an intern at LG in the 60s. Learned so much of value. Thanks for sharing your article and photos.
