A Celebration of Trees brightens the holiday season at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pa., every day through Jan. 1. Floral trees made from cyclamen, dusty miller, stevia and other plants bloom above a sea of red and white poinsettias in the East Conservatory while trees decked in ornaments and dried flowers offer a dazzling display in the Longwood Ballroom.

Outside, 400,000 lights sparkle in treetops, and the Open Air Theatre fountains perform to holiday music every half-hour between 11 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. (weather permitting); during evening hours, fountains play continuously from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Children can enjoy "Breakfast with Santa" in the Terrace Restaurant on Dec. 16, 17, 23 and 24. Reservations are recommended.

Holiday hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. Admission is $8 for adults ($6 on Tuesdays); $4 for ages 16 to 20; $1 for ages 6 to 15; free for children under 6. Longwood Gardens is on U.S. Route 1, three miles northeast of Kennett Square. Call (800) 737-5500 or (610) 388-1000.
