Longwood Gardens
A couple weeks ago, Rich and I went to Longwood Gardens located in Brandywine Valley, Pennsylvania. With over 1,000 acres of gardens, meadows, and woods, there was a lot to see. The Gardens are also knows for its Festival of Foundations waterworks. Being it was one of those 95 degree plus days with high humidity, it was a small wonder people weren’t jumping into those fountains!
My favorite place was the conservatory, a huge 4+ acre greenhouse with thousands of plants. My favorite area within the conservatory was the water gardens.
These are just a few of the photos I’ve taken that day.

We were very tempted to jump into that water to get some relief from the heat.
The waterlily pictures were taken inside of the conservatory’s watergarden.

I love these types of stone buildings. Inside is a very photogenic spiral staircase which I took several pictures of.
It’s me near the fountains.

When I still lived in Delaware, I visited Longwood often. I even performed there with the Brandywiners. Now I’m lamenting that I took no pictures! None! Clearly I need to head back. Thanks for posting these pictures. It took me back.

do you happen to have any pictures of the italian gardens that show the steps that take you actually up to the fountain?
