More touring fuel. This time Longwood Cherry Stout.

One of the must-see attractions in the area we visited was Longwood Gardens located in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. The gardens consist of over 1000 acres of displays including fountains, plants, trees, and a fantastic conservatory. During the holiday season, the gardens put on a top-notch light display.

Historically, the gardens were a farm throughout the 18th and 19th century with many of the farmers having interest in preserving the forest and other plants. Eventually, Pierre S du Pont purchased the farm and to preserve the trees. After some time, he created his horticulture display to entertain family and friends. The gardens were open to the public in 1921. Hailed as one of the world’s premier gardens…it was truly magical to walk through.

We arrived around 2:30 in the afternoon to take in the gardens during the day. The conservatory had a beautiful display of winter plants and a light display themed “Fire and Ice”. Then…when the sun went down, the entire park lit up in Christmas lights. We walked the entire parked and were in awe around every corner we turned. The park had a dancing water fountain display and dancing lights in the fountain display area both set to music.

Top notch afternoon and worth the drive out of the city to see this amazing place. Located in Kennett Square, PA, take the morning to shop in the downtown area then make reservations at one of their many restaurants after walking the gardens. https://longwoodgardens.org/

Enjoy the pictures! We wish there was a scratch N sniff option…lol!
