ChildrenSong of New Jersey performs at the prestigious annual holiday celebration, A Longwood Gardens Christmas, on the beautiful grounds of Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania.

Christmas sparkles at Longwood Gardens November 25-January 2. Longwood blends all the ingredients for a memorable holiday celebration — exquisite decorations, spectacular lights, festive music, and colorful displays — within one fantastical garden. Thousands of brilliant poinsettias, lavishly decorated trees, and fragrant flowers flourish inside the heated Conservatory, while daily concerts, fountain shows, and evening light displays heighten the holiday splendor.

After dark, a night-blooming garden of 420,000 lights strung on nearly 40 miles of wire opens at Longwood. The outdoor lighting display includes 77 trees and additional special displays, including rhododendrons, anemones, azaleas, daffodils, and lilacs fashioned from lights blooming in the beds. From the Conservatory Terrace, visitors can see the 5-acre Main Fountain Garden outlined in blue lights with a towering blue spruce decorated with frosty ornaments shimmering on the center lawn and four-foot snowflakes sparkling in the distant trees.

ChildrenSong performs on Monday, November 29, 2004, at 7:00pm and 8:00pm. Admission to the garden is $15 for adults, $6 for youth aged 16-20, $2 for children aged 6-15, and children under 6 are free. For directions, visit the Longwood Gardens information page.
