Above a Gazebo at Longwood Gardens for Weathervane Wednesday

 Today's weathervane was photographed at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania.




Longwood Gardens is open to the public with more than 1,100 acres of gardens, woodlands, and meadows. It has fantastic fountains (with shows) and a very large conservatory covering 17 acres undergoing a very large expansion project to make it even bigger! It is the largest horticultural display in the United States.  Over 1.6 million people visit here every year. 

This weathervane was spotted near the large 5 acre Main Fountain Garden in front of the conservatory.   It is a banner style weathervane featuring a winged griffin. It sits above a fancy gazebo and can be seen from quite a distance in this part of the park.
