I recommend it highly. Note please, that Mary Ann is right – they do have excellent mushroom soup in the cafeteria at Longwood. I recommend it highly.

I usually take my kids there at least two or three times each month. I, too, sneak granola bars, fruit and other snacks to avoid the cafeteria, although the mushroom soup is yummy. If you ever want to join me and some other moms on a playdate there, just let me know! I absolutely love Longwood Gardens. I usually take my kids there at least two or three times each month.

Maybe next week I'll have to dream of coming to Australia (actually, that is definitely on my list).<br/><br/>Jamie and Becky, thanks for the praise about the entry - Teddy makes it easy to take cute photos. It really was strangely deserted the day we were there, maybe because we got there pretty early and it was a little overcast. Rachel – both of those gardens look fabulous!

We have a ton of beautiful gardens in the Melbourne area, but I've been meaning to take Jess to two outside of the city for awhile - both owned by the <a HREF="http://diggers.com.au" REL="nofollow">Diggers</a>, a seed/plant catalogue company that features organic/heritage seeds. They have two showpiece gardens - <a HREF="http://diggers.com.au/gardenHerons.shtm" REL="nofollow">Heronswood</a> and <a HREF="http://diggers.com.au/gardenStErth.shtm" REL="nofollow">St. Erth</a>. Both are about the same distance from us as Longwood Gardens is from you, but in opposite directions. I really ought to take Jess now, while it's spring. You’ve inspired me, Mara!
