| It looks as if you are really interested in natural history rather than gardens--places designed as works of art using plants among other materials. There are many, many gardens in the area you are visiting but none are on your list--which is fine--it just depends on your interests--wild nature or cultivated nature. Longwood Gardens is a beautiful series of gardens. Check out their website to see if it is for you. It's in Pennsylvania, south of Philadelphia. There are many truly beautiful gardens in the Philadelphia area. |

Any ideas welcome. We are particularly interested in butterflies in the wild, so I guess natural heritage is really top of the list. Mary who will be travellign with me loves orchirds and sub-tropicals too. Jacqui |

| Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum and was looking for the introduction thread, so I can introduce myself to the forum members formally. But since, I can't find it... I'm Irene and would love to learn more and share my ideas as well, with everybody. |

| I don't know that there is a line, per se. The Mason-Dixon line demarcated the North from the South pre-Civil War, but that line is actually not that far south. |

| South of the Mason Dixon Line is south. Yes, Myrtle Beach is in the South. Unless you live in Florida, then you gotta drive North to get there. |
