Longwood Gardens Reimagined Scheduled To Open Fall 2024
Longwood Gardens Reimagined Scheduled To Open Fall 2024
You are probably just like my wife and I…we love spending time at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square PA.
…and it’s so close to Wilmington-one of Conde Nast Travelers best places to visit. If considering a visit to Wilmington, you must plan a trip to Longwood!
We love it so much that we have been members for a few years now. It’s just a great place to and relax, chill, recharge, refresh and generally hit that reset button in your mind.
From the summer concerts and fountain shows to spending time inside the Conservatory (to get a taste of summer in winter) – we love everything about Longwood Gardens.
If you’ve visited Longwood over the past 2 years you’ve probably noticed lots of construction on the west side of the Conservatory. This is just a part of the $250 million, 17 acre expansion.
The project is called Longwood Reimagined, A New Garden Experience.
The centerpiece of and largest component of the work is the new 32,000 square-foot West Conservatory and will feature pools, canals and fountains.
Start planning a date night sometime in the Fall of 2024 when the new 1906 Restaurant opens. The new space for the existing Longwood home for fine dining will seat 185 diners. It will include a full-service bar and lounge. The restaurant will have a modern vibe in an “abstract tree design”.
There will also be a new look to Waterlily Court, event spaces and their administration building.
One special renovation that is “on view now” is their famous Orchid House. The 100 year old display has been preserved and expanded to a gallery-like space where you will find yourself surrounded by hundred of orchids! Enjoy the new glass roof and restored display cases and windows.
Maybe you want to visit now? If so, enjoy Spring Blooms and the Open Air Fountain Shows all day everyday!
We are lucky to have this treasure so close to home!
…see you there!
