Logee’s Greenhouse

Logee’s Greenhouse in Danielson, CT is one of the most magical places on the East Coast, maybe Earth.  Here’s what they say about themselves, all true:

“Since 1892, the Logee-Martin family has been growing and selling over a thousand varieties of tropical container plants for home and garden. We are the exclusive source of many varieties, both heirloom and new introductions. Cross the threshold of our greenhouses and prepare to enter into another world.

Hear the trickling sounds of the water garden, see lemons the size of grapefruits on the 108 year-old Ponderosa Lemon Tree, then take a deep breath of divinely fragrant air as you meander through lush vegetation. Whether you’re shopping for beautiful plants or just have a desire to surround yourself in beauty, come to Logee’s, we promise it’s worth the trip.”

If you are ever in the area, don’t pass through without visiting Logee’s.  It really is a special place.  These photos were taken by a friend with whom I recently made the pilgrimage.  Photos after the jump are by the excellent photographer Karl Gercens.  Be sure to check out his other work.  He is an avid garden photographer who has documented flora all over the world.
