Just a heads up that Longwood Gardens' amazing Nightscape light-and-sound show ends at the end of this month. If you haven't gone, I recommend it highly: we thought it was really magical and a great couple's night out. You'll hear a lot of people talking about the big display by the lake, where the projected lights make it look like that the trees are progressing through the seasons, but I thought the trippy indoor Palm House display was just as cool and a lot more intimate.
My favorite part of the show, though, was the more playful topiary garden display, where the bushes seemed to change into yurts, stone idols, rotating tractor tires, and then ranks of blaring horns, all set to the rhythm of pulsing tribal music.
Don't miss taking a look at the main fountain renovation project. I knew it was a major work in progress, but somehow it didn't occur to me the massive amount of earthmoving that would be involved. There's an information kiosk on the terrace overlooking the fountain garden that tells you all about the fountain project, which is slated for completion in 2017.
