LONGWOOD: Even in the winter

Longwood Gardens just informed me that my membership would be expiring in a few weeks, and I immediately renewed. After all, visiting just a few times a year pays for your membership, and members get discounts on plays and concerts.
We're so lucky to have one of the world's great horticultural attractions so close by. I will occasionally pop by on a cold winter's day just so I can visit the staghorn ferns, the bonsai, the Venus flytraps, the roses, or the banana plants; stroll down the acacia passageway into the wonderfully humid, fragrant orchid room; and listen to the visitors from all over the world chatting in multiple languages.
