New sections are beautiful. We loved the outside bonsai courtyard. The holiday lights and decorations were great as usual. See 1906 restaurant review separately. The renovation of 1906 is also bea… Full review by Barbara L

I visited Longwood Gardens today (12/28/2024) and rate my experience 1 out of 5 stars. I was extremely disappointed. Firstly, tickets are non-refundable. It was raining when I arrived and continued … Full review by L N

Beautiful lights and a lovely new conservatory just open with a more plant focused display than the trees and lights in the older conservatory. Had not seen any reviews for the new Taste of Christmas… Full review by PegSNJ

When to expect these plants to bloom in S.E. Pennsylvania Peony flowering occurs for seven to eight weeks, from the end of April until early June (hardiness zones 6 to 7). Flowers typically bloom in this order: woodland peonies, followed by tree peonies and then herbaceous species and ending with intersectional hybrids Many species and cultivars of hydrangea flower in Pennsylvania, mid July through August, with bursts of white flower color that slowly change to shades of pinks and reds.
We’re visiting in early December and need to know if we will be indoors or outdoors most of the time. Trying to plan what to wear.

Great time to visit Longwood Gardens! Wear warm clothes, winter coats, hats, gloves, sturdy warm shoes. When you get there the welcome center is inside. But as soon as you walk out of there you will be outside seeing the lit trees, displays, fountains, etc. When you get too cold head towards the conservatory where you can get out of the cold and warm up while wandering around the inside gardens (restrooms in here too). Then head back outside for a while and warm back up in the cafeteria area.
I am planning to see A Longwood Christmas with my future fiancé. Actually, I am planning to propose at this beautiful venue! I see that it says lights come on at 12 pm and every 15 minutes after that but don’t understand what this means. Please help! I am coming from 2 hours away and want to make this visit as memorable as possible and that includes seeing the exhibits during the day but also want to experience all the beautiful lights.

The evening is when the lights of the gardens come on. They have spectacular decorations both outdoor and inside the atrium. There are several structures with a few levels which are decorated as well. It will be difficult to choose just one...Enjoy!
