Longwood Gardens: The Art and Passion of Fragrance

Longwood Gardens Road trip! Road trip!

Garden Variety heads to Longwood Gardens outside Philadelphia today to preview its first major exhibition of the season: Making Scents: The Art and Passion of Fragrance.

The exhibit opens April 10 and runs through Nov. 21, during which the Gardens' Conservatory will be transformed into a museum for the senses.

You will be able to see the actual plants and flowers behind those iconic perfumes, explore the power of the sense of smell and learn about the intersection of art and science behind fragrance.

Stay tuned for more upon my return.

About Susan Reimer

Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
