Horticultural

Longwood Gardens in the eastern state of Pennsylvania has been described by many visitors as a horticultural paradise and attracts hundreds of thousands of nature lovers each year. Over the lush 424 hectares there are more than 40 different gardens and displays. VOA's Amitis Darabnia takes us inside the garden's conservatory, a large indoor facility that is home to 5,500 types of plants.

At this building, horticultural products are sold to the public.

Throughout the garden there was, indeed, much arrangement, and much art; from the water-jet, trained to fling its silvery cascade, to the yew trees shaped into peacocks; still it was arrangement prompted by taste, and art that loved the nature which it guided. And if the horticultural skill, on which Mrs Churchill piqued herself, might have escaped the stranger's observation, the little knot now gathered before her terrace would inevitably have caught his attention.
