Longwood gardens over 30 years - comment left on Kanlaon Blog

Thank you! I used to live in Philadelphia - 15 years while at Penn - and so went there a bit - interesting to see the way the garden has changed -/ and remained the same - like how old the purple bougainvillea in the conservatory are - or the new pawlovnia (sp?) trees they put in to replace the old ones that were taken out -/ I only have been there at intervals of 6-10 years now - but my son first visited when he was 13 - and was enchanted by the bonsai jasmine -/ and one summer I went there right after having a colonoscopy, and the pink roses on the arches to the right of the entrance were in full bloom -/ one family friend who was a Quaker and whom I first met through other family friends lived at Crosslands retirement community near there.
