Inside, in the conservatory, things were pretty darn beautiful too. The conservatory has a large central hall where the Main Tree is placed. You can see how much sunlight is coming through. An enthralling symphony of Nature and Art! The nice thing about Longwood is that there are features that remain the same year after year, and things that change. There's always a Big Tree, but it gets decorated differently. Last year, and I think they have this on their website now, the area in front of the tree, which can be filled with water, was covered with a floating mass of cranberries. This year it was a mosaic of plants, moss, and natural materials, filled, as the whole gardens are filled, with many details (like the painted pine cones) which enchant the floral arranger's eye.
