Thank you Lewes in Bloom for bringing a gorgeous pop of color to LPL on this dreary day! 🌸

Their beautiful plantings create such a cheery welcome for our visitors... even when mother nature has other ideas. 🌼

Just look at the smiles on the faces of our patrons Brody, Jerry, & Fiona and Wren & Finn - as they tiptoed through the tulips! πŸ₯°πŸŒ·
