Christmas at Longwood Gardens 2008 December 2008 Every year, Lucie and I go out to lunch to Christmas and exchange gifts. This year we decided to make it an outing to Longwood Gardens. As usual, they outdid themselves! The rose arches are lit in blue. Unfortunately there were no lighted wisteria on them this year.
