Longwood Gardens, PA

Longwood Gardens, once the summer home of Pierre du Pont, is a magnificent display of nature at her best.

From the Longwood Gardens website:

Exquisite flowers, majestic trees, dazzling fountains, extravagant conservatory, starlit theatre, thunderous organ—all describe the magic of Longwood Gardens, a horticultural showstopper where the gardening arts are encased in classic forms and enhanced by modern technology. Many generations helped create Longwood Gardens, but one individual—Pierre S. du Pont (1870-1954), industrialist, conservationist, farmer, designer, impresario, and philanthropist—made the most enduring contribution.



Ideally, visit in person.
