Winter Nights at Longwood
When darkness falls, magic rises.
Nature and light collide in Garden Glow—an enchanting after-hours journey through our Conservatory and Main Fountain Garden Districts.
Follow glowing paths of luminaria as they guide you through an evening of discovery. Inside our historic conservatories, explore floral masterworks created by Longwood artists, revealing plants’ hidden beauty as they’re bathed in colors that bring warmth to the winter night. Experience Bonsai Illuminated, a striking blacklight installation in which the intricate details of bonsai take on an otherworldly dimension, glowing with a captivating intensity.
Step into a West Conservatory transformed by award-winning floral designer Jennifer Reed, where a suspended installation evokes an ethereal, vibrant dreamscape. Outside, thousands of shimmering, biodegradable sparks float gracefully skyward— like fireflies dancing at dusk or stars drifting within reach—with SPARK, a mesmerizing installation by the visionary artist Daan Roosegaarde.
This isn't just a garden at night. It's a luminous dreamscape—where every corner promises discovery, and every turn unveils something beautiful.
Let the glow guide you. Let the night delight you.
