Visitors to Longwood Gardens can now escape the chill of winter in a kaleidoscope of colors and vibrant plant life. The attraction's "Winter Wonder" display is set to run from January 16th through March 22nd, offering an indoor oasis amidst the cold months.
As guests enter the gardens, they're transported into a world of tropical flowers, large-scale horticultural displays, and exotic plants under glass. This unique indoor setting allows visitors to bask in the beauty of nature while much of the outdoor landscape remains dormant, waiting for spring's arrival.
But the magic doesn't stop there. Starting February 13th through March 8th, "Garden Glow" comes alive on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings from 5 pm until 10 pm. By nightfall, the gardens transform into a dazzling spectacle of illuminated displays that showcase the beauty of Longwood's indoor gardens in an entirely new light.
One standout feature of "Garden Glow" is "SPARK," an innovative installation that releases thousands of biodegradable lights into the air on select nights. This enchanting experience adds another layer to the already breathtaking display, making it a must-visit for anyone looking to shake off the winter blues.
To avoid long wait times and ensure entry, timed admission tickets are now required. Longwood Gardens remains open from Wednesday through Monday from 10 am until 5 pm, with Tuesday closures.

. I mean, who wouldn’t want to be surrounded by all those beautiful tropical flowers and exotic plants when it's freezing outside? And then you add on top of that this "Garden Glow" display at night and it sounds like an absolute game-changer 
. I love how they're using biodegradable lights for the "SPARK" installation, too - it’s all about being mindful of our impact on the environment 
. Has anyone been to Longwood Gardens yet?
their winter wonder display sounds like the perfect escape from the cold winter days 
and garden glow on friday/saturday/sunday evenings is giving me LIFE! 
who wouldn't want to walk through a kaleidoscope of colors and tropical flowers all night? 
and spark? how cool is that?! releasing biodegradable lights into the air... it's like magic 
, I mean, who doesn't love a good indoor escape from the cold? But at the same time, I think it's kinda weird that they're gonna charge extra for timed admission tickets... like, isn't that just gonna make people wanna stay out in the cold instead of splurging on tickets? 
And don't even get me started on the whole "Garden Glow" thing - it sounds so pretty, but I'm not sure if it's worth braving the crowds and waiting for those select Friday night events... maybe they could just have some outdoor concerts or something instead? 
it sounds like they've created this amazing indoor oasis that's perfect for a winter getaway... or just a fun night out with friends 
. and OMG, 'garden glow' is going to be so magical under all those twinkly lights 
- i can already imagine how breathtaking 'spark' must be when it releases those biodegradable lights into the air 
. It's like our relationship with nature has become so transactional that we need to pay to be in its presence.
. I mean, have they even crunched the numbers on how many people are actually willing to shell out that kind of cash just to warm up in some air-conditioned glasshouse? And what's with the need for timed admission tickets now? Is Longwood Gardens really that overwhelmed by visitors already? 
I'd love to see some sources on that.
they really outdid themselves with the garden glow thing at night, it's like nothing you've ever seen before 
and i'm loving the spark installation, who knew biodegradable lights could be so magical 
. But hey, the biodegradable lights and illuminated displays do sound pretty lit 
, so I guess it's worth braving the lines for.
! The idea of escaping winter's chill in a kaleidoscope of colors and vibrant plant life is just pure magic 
The timed admission tickets are a good call, though - don't wanna be stuck in line all day 
.
they're transforming the gardens into a tropical oasis with colorful plants & flowers under glass... it's like a breath of fresh air (literally!) during winter 
! i'm especially excited about the 'SPARK' installation - can u imagine seeing thousands of biodegradable lights floating in the air? 
! btw, make sure to get timed admission tickets so u don't have to wait around 
. And yeah, timed admission tickets make sense to avoid the crowds, but it's still gonna be worth it for the "Winter Wonder" display alone 
. Who's going with me? 
.
. i mean, who needs sunlight when u have thousands of biodegradable lights just floating in mid air? 
its like something outta a movie 
. btw, timed admission tickets are required now so u should def plan ahead if u wanna avoid the lines 
️
The biodegradable lights in "SPARK" are such a cool touch, it's almost like nature's own fireworks display 
. Definitely adding Longwood Gardens to my winter bucket list... anyone else planning on visiting?
