When visiting I recommend that you dress appropriately for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes. You'll be doing a lot of walking indoors and outdoors! If you enjoy being hands-free you'll want to wear a mini backpack or a fanny pack to hold you personal belongings. You're welcome to take photographs, so bring your camera along!

There are all kinds of different gardens for you to explore. You can check out the water fountains, water gardens, botanical gardens, the children's garden, water lily display, and more! There are a lot of things for you to see...so plan on spending a minimum of 2 hours during your visit.

I love gardening and I enjoy photographing various flowers and plants. If you enjoy it too...I recommend checking out their website to see what's currently in bloom. You can plan your visit around your favorite type's of flowers and plants.

We've been to Longwood Gardens a few times over the past 10 years and enjoy our visit every time. There are always new things to see and do, so it never gets boring. After your visit you can dine at the 1906 Restaurant or The Cafe. For fine dining we recommend the 1906, and for a more casual experience check out The Cafe. If beer is more your thing...head on in to the Beer Cafe for your favorite brew.
