Longwood Gardens

1001 Longwood Rd, Kennett Square, Pa 19348 • 610-388-1000 Although not technically a greenhouse or actually in Lancaster County, these exquisite gardens are worth the trip! With over 1,000 acres of gardens and woodlands, Longwoods boasts a gorgeous conservatory with exotic plants for all to enjoy. Membership passes are our favorite way to visit because then we can stop by many times throughout the year to embrace the changing of the seasons.
