Lewis Ginter Conservatory tree and library tree

A few pictures of the trees in the conservatory and library to share and then off to finish my decorating.  Taking longer and longer it seems these days.  I need more rests in between trekking up and down my stairs.


A tall one and loaded with flowers in the Conservatory of Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens.

Genevieve and Adalyn.  Adalyn has reading glasses now and loves them.

Both girls are making a wish in the fountain.  I heard Genevieve wish for a Bella doll.

Adalyn whispering her wish.

One wish wasn't enough for Genevieve.  Opa was handing out coins for their wishes.

A train set up in another part of the Conservatory among flowers.  Finding the Fairies among them was fun to spot.

Both girls found one

here is another one sleeping in the flowers

one on a lily pad

Into the library with Old Man Winter welcoming us in

The theme for this tree is  "Miss Rumphius". 

A second tree is decorated with lovely dried flowers also.

grapevine is the garland running through the limbs

On display is some interesting art work like this "sticks and stones" by a Richmond based artist.

Gourd work

A fine piece of fiber art

This looks to be painted and quilted dimensional art.  I did not get the info. on this one.

  Pretty garland hanging on one wall
