Autumn is a fleeting season full of rich, vibrant colors and gorgeous natural lands ready to capture with your camera.
Get a chance to photograph one of the most breathtaking parts of Longwood—a natural area adjacent to the Gardens, not usually open to guests. An untouched autumnal landscape, the property is full of color and life during this time of year, and you’ll be able to capture the striking architecture of its plants—and any potential wildlife that you might encounter.
