As this field trip is being scheduled for mid-winter, we will focus almost entirely on the display areas of Longwood's Conservatory.

The conservatory is one of the world's great greenhouse structures. It shelters 20 indoor gardens and 5,500 types of plants. The Conservatory was built in 1919 and has been periodically expanded and renovated. At present, there are 195,668 square feet--or 4.5 acres--of covered display, production, and research greenhouses. During our visit, Longwood will be holding its Orchid extravaganza (from January 24th through March 31st). During that time, thousands of orchid blooms will fill the Conservatory. Innovative displays, including a spectacular Living Wall of Orchids will also be featured.
