By Rachel Cooper, About.com Guide

Brookside Gardens hosts its annual Gardens of Lights each holiday season. The illuminated outdoor winter garden walk includes a whimsical monster, an enchanting persimmon tree, a walk through kaleidoscope caterpillar, an animated flying cardinal, and swimming geese over sparkling water. Following your walk among the lights, warm up inside the Conservatory and enjoy a colorful display of holiday poinsettias, flowering plants and evergreens. Local musicians perform in the Visitors Center Auditorium each night from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

Enjoy the following photos and get a glimpse of the event.
