Easter Display

Fragrant Easter lilies complemented by calla lilies and hydrangeas are featured in the indoor gardens. Other favorites include daisies, delphiniums, forget-me-nots, daffodils, hyacinths, tulips, and orchids. Outdoors, magnolias and flowering cherries provide color and fragrance, and daffodils open by the thousands.

And, don't forget that Longwood offers concerts, tours, lectures and other special events year-round, throughout the Gardens! Easter features an elegant buffet in the Ballroom and special holiday concerts. Visit our events page to view our current and upcoming educational and performing arts events.
