Longwood Gardens

Longwood Christmas - Kennett Square PA

Encompassing more than a thousand acres in the Brandywine Valley, Longwood Gardens of Kennett Square, PA is a botanical and horticulture masterpiece. Longwood’s formal gardens and 4.5-acre conservatory are home to more than 9,000 species of plant and are accented with sprawling meadows and natural woodlands. Winding paths through the grounds lead visitors past incredible features including Acacia Passage, the Green Wall, and the Main Fountain Garden.

We ventured to Longwood Gardens for its Longwood Christmas holiday show. It’s spectacular! Best Christmas light display we’ve seen to date.

In addition to the numerous Christmas trees and lights throughout the conservatory and grounds, the 2022 holiday show contained more than half a million lights on more than 150 outdoor trees! Yes!

The conservatory and grounds of Longwood Gardens are equally remarkable, and I’d love to see them in every season. The Longwood Organ - and its 10k+ pipes - is a unique addition to a botanical garden. And fountain enthusiasts shouldn’t miss the Historic Pump Room & Gallery!

Absolutely a membership worthy location!
