Bright Spots in our Gardens

in

You’ll see winter in a new light at these celebratory seasonal displays.

Welcome to the dark side of our Pacific Northwest seasonal spectrum when the sun barely rises in time to set again. By the time we reach the winter solstice, December 21 this year, our region will receive just half of the number of daylight hours than those we enjoy on the celestial flip side in summer. And by daylight, I mean overcast, stormy and cold. 

It’s no wonder that most winter holiday celebrations involve light.

Even when the “weather outside is frightful,” a number of regional public gardens are putting on seasonal displays and activities sure to cast a magical light on this darkest time of the year.
