GardenFest of Lights Images of Conservatory Interiors

High-resolution images available upon media request.

The Conservatory's Central Dome House always features a dazzling display.

 

 

 

 

The Cottage Wing (which includes a real thatched cottage) tells a different story each year. In 2008, the displays will be inspired by the children's book Cobweb Christmas.

 

 

 

The interior of the cottage is also decorated as part of the charming display.

Many thanks go to the Virginia Train Collectors who help make the trains possible. The horticulture staff decorate the Conservatory display with exquisite "hobbit houses" made with natural materials. Photo: Stephanie Gross

 

 

The holiday tree in the Conservatory at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden -- always a sight to behold. It's also a favorite place for family photos. Photo: Trevor Wrayton
