It's a beautiful weekend in the Gardens... the blue-poppies are in bloom, early spring bulbs are popping up outdoors, and Orchid Extravaganza is still on view!

This weekend is your last chance to see Orchid Extravaganza, which closes on Sunday at 6:00 pm. It might still feel like winter outside, but you will find spring inside our Conservatory! http://longwoodgardens.org/events-and-performances/events/orchid-extravaganza
