Our Rich History
Years before it was a public garden, the land on which Longwood Gardens stands was home to the native Lenni Lenape tribe and Quaker farmers. Since then, the land has undergone significant transformation to become the magnificent property that is enjoyed by more than a million guests each year.
Creating a Vision for the Future
Our ability to be leaders in public horticulture lies in our deliberate planning and adherence to the principles on which we were founded.
Whether a homeowner, hobby gardener, artist, horticulturist, or landscape professional, you will find something to help you grow.
