Longwood Gardens, America’s greatest center for horticultural display, located in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, recently unveiled Longwood Reimagined: A New Garden Experience. The new display celebrates the final stage of the garden’s biggest revitalization project in its 100-year history. Guests are invited to celebrate the grand opening with two weeks of festivities, including a members-only preview and special events.

Led by architecture firm WEISS/MANFREDI in collaboration with landscape architects Reed Hilderbrand, Longwood Reimagined increased its public spaces of the central grounds by adding new buildings and landscapes.

“The unveiling of Longwood Reimagined marks not only a milestone for Longwood Gardens but also a bold leap into the future of defining what it means to be a great garden of the world whose foundation is based upon horticultural excellence,” said Paul Redman, president and CEO, Longwood Gardens. “This project honors our legacy by embracing innovations and sustainability practices that define 21^st-century garden artistry. We’re excited to invite our guests to experience the newest addition to our collection of world-class gardens with the unparalleled beauty and creativity that WEISS/MANFREDI and Reed Hilderbrand have brought to life through this transformational journey. With new spaces to explore and dynamic landscapes that evolve with the seasons, Longwood Reimagined ensures that every visit will offer a fresh, immersive experience.”

The centerpiece and largest element of Longwood Reimagined is a new glasshouse featuring an immersive Mediterranean Garden with planted islands, pools, canals and fountains. The garden incorporates three islands set on an expansive sheet of water, and is inspired by the gardens and landscapes of the six Mediterranean ecozones. Guests can cross over the stone paths and bridges to get to the brick terraces to admire the design. The garden is made up of more than 60 species of plants, including agaves, aloes, Blueblossoms and Dewplant. Other plants include shrubs, cypresses, canopy trees, vines, succulents and more.

The debut coordinates with Longwood Garden’s popular holiday spectacular, A Longwood Christmas, displaying more than half a million twinkling lights and fountain shows, running Nov. 22–Jan. 12. Guests visiting this winter are in for an aesthetically pleasing treat.
