Lucky the weather held out for us when we visited Longwood Gardens, however almost half our time there we spent indoors in the conservatories as they were so massive. We were also fortunate to be able to visit the gardens in spring as the gardens were just filled with colour, especially from the tens of thousands of tulips! I know gardens may not be so beautiful in photos, but try to imagine! Enjoy!

Longwood Gardens history began in 1700 but in 1906 Pierre du Pont purchased the property to save the amazing trees that were about to be harvested for timber. He then developed the gardens and conservatories.
