Outsider Tip
Kids love the outdoor children’s garden, the maze and the ducks down at the lake.
When you're at Longwood Gardens, it's easy to imagine that you're at a giant, royal garden in Europe. Stroll along the many paths through acres of exquisitely maintained grounds featuring 11,000 different types of plants.
Encounter a new vista at each turn: the Italian Water Garden, Flower Garden Walk, aquatic display gardens and many others. Amble through Peirce’s Woods, eight outdoor “rooms” of distinct woodland habitats.
Inside the Conservatory is a lush world of exotic flowers, cacti, bromeliads, ferns and bonsai. Each season brings a different pleasure: spring magnolias and azaleas; summer roses and water lilies; fall foliage and chrysanthemums; and winter camellias, orchids and palms.
COME PREPARED
Longwood Gardens is open daily, year-round.
DON'T MISS
Everything Autumn - Longwood celebrates the harvest season with Everything Autumn, a two-month-long festival featuring live music, pumpkin carving and the unveiling of Longwood's new Indoor Children's Garden.
Running from September 8 through November 18, Everything Autumn will also feature tractor rides, special gardening demonstrations, railway rides through Longwood's famous gardens and much more.
Bring your family to Longwood for a wonderful celebration of the harvest season, and perhaps a candy apple or two.
