Christmas at Longwood Gardens 2023

by hankinslawrenceimages | Dec 10, 2023 | Christmas

As you may know, I LOVE the Christmas displays at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. I’ve only missed going one year since 2008 – and I figure the pandemic in 2020 was a good reason not to visit. This year, I’m just going to post my photos in the order I edit them, rather than organizing them into a bunch of posts. With three visits planned, I’m hoping to get some photos I’m really happy with this year.

Christmas at Longwood Gardens 2022 II

So I didn’t make it up to Longwood Gardens to see the 2022 Longwood Christmas display until early 2023 due to a shoulder injury. Even when I made it, I was still photographing one-handed. So nowhere near as many photos as usual. But here are a few of my photos from Christmas at Longwood Gardens

Christmas at Longwood Gardens 2021 – III

by hankinslawrenceimages | Dec 26, 2021 | Christmas

I made it back to Longwood Gardens for their Longwood Christmas display this year after missing it last year. I only made one trip this year rather than my usual 2-4 – so fewer photos, and none of the outdoor lights. Hopefully by next year, things will be back to normal and I’ll be able to make multiple visits. But in the meantime, here are some of my photos from the 2021 Longwood Christmas display

I only made one trip this year rather than my usual 2-4 – so fewer photos, and none of the outdoor lights. Hopefully by next year, things will be back to normal and I’ll be able to make multiple visits. But in the meantime, here are the first few photos from the 2021 Longwood Christmas display.
