Once again, Lauritzen
Gardens is making the holiday season merry and BRIGHT! The floral display hall
and the Marjorie K. Daugherty Conservatory will be adorned and enhanced with
light as the garden extends its hours to celebrate the beauty of the
season.
Set a merry mood with friends and family and explore the illuminated indoor
gardens. From a 20' tall poinsettia tree to a tropical paradise, see festive
installations that glow and shine, showcasing nature in a new light.
These enchanted evenings are sure to become a holiday tradition. As you tour
the glistening indoor gardens, gather around the crackling fire, write
letters to Santa, shop for thoughtful holiday gifts in the gift shop, purchase
a S'mores kit to roast a marshmallow, enjoy the family-friendly activities in
the Family Chill Zone, and more.
Delight in the joy of the holidays and create extraordinary memories with your
family and friends at the garden this winter.
