| What are some of your favorite public or private gardens that you have visited in Pennsylvannia? Maybe you visited a private garden when you were on a garden tour.
We are very lucky to have some really nice gardens in PA. I have a pass to Longwood Gardens and try to visit several time a year. One of my favorite gardens is Chanticleer Gardens in Wayne PA http://www.chanticleergarden.org/ I also try to get to Hershey Gardens annualy to see their great display of roses in the early summer. Share some of the places you have visited

| We go to Longwood. I count myself lucky to live only 30 minutes from Longwood. We have a membership too and have gone at least 6 times this year. It pays for itself! Kristopher |

| Has anyone been to Phipps Conserv in Pittsburgh? I agree that Longwood is a great place to visit, even in the winter the things to see is spectacular. |

| Been to Phipps. It is like entering another dimension. Nice gift shop too. Spending a day there is not in any way shape or form a waste of time. The area near it has nice architecture, it is just off an old college campus. Mellon? I forget. |

| Phipps is excellent. I love the cactus room and their tropical bonsai show is coming up! |

| I loved visiting Hershey Gardens this summer. The Penn State Arboretum is nice. I also like the Philadelphia Flower Show. |

| My veggie garden, my wife's flower gardens are the most favorite places I want to be. Right now they look like winter stuff, I'll post pics when their up. We have an Indian corn grinder ( a piece of stone weighing about 4-500 lbs in the center, next to a 50+ year old Lilac bush, our deck is covered with wisteria, Virginia creeper, and grape vines. a Bartlet pear tree growing in the middle of the deck 50+ years old, 10 or so bluebird houses rented by house and carolina wrens. (hopefully) No place I would rather be |

| I've been to Phipps Conservatory. It was really convenient going there any time with my UPitt student ID pass. Now that I graduated, I feel like I took it for granted lol. I should have gone every week. I really like spring time. The butterflies hatch out and you could see them around the gardens. |
|
| Chris Phipps is surely one lovely place, we go there often also |
|
| Morris Arboretum in Chestnut Hill outside Philly is marvelous. Longwood at least twice a year, of course, and Hershey Gardens at rose time is de rigeur. |
|
| there is also Walker Gardens in Bigler.Haven't been there yet....on my bucket list |
