Learn About Longwood Gardens

​One of the world’s great gardens, Longwood’s story is one of legacy, innovation, and stewardship.

Our Gardens are a living expression of all that our founder, Pierre S. du Pont, found inspiring, meaningful, and beautiful. From the intricate fountain systems to the meticulous gardens to the architectural grandeur, awe-inspiring discoveries await at every turn.

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.


LEARN MORE

​It’s that time! Our tulips are beginning their peak bloom, gracing our Gardens with their gorgeous display of color, form, and springtime splendor.
​
Find these beauties along our historic Flower Garden Walk, where 200,000 tulips and other seasonal blooms put on quite a stunning show. In our Idea Garden, beds of tulips and spring annuals are starting to provide sweeps of pastel pinks to purple, with punches of dark red to mauve, in a lovely display of color, texture, and whimsy, with peak Idea Garden bloom.
