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.

Strategic Plan: Continuing a legacy of service initiated by founder Pierre S. du Pont, our new mission and 2030 Strategic Plan highlight the work we do–and will continue to expand–that extends beyond our garden gates.
