a long day with long walks in longwood gardens
...longwood gardens, kenneth square, pa. 1,050 acres of gardens, one of the best in the US. Bought from William Penn by George Pierce then by Pierre S. du Pont who made it a private estate. today, it has 20 outdoor gardens and 20 indoor gardens within 4.5 acres of heated greenhouses or conservatories. it has 11,000 (or more) types of trees and plants .... the list goes on and on ...
one of my favorite things in longwood are the flowerbeds .. they seem to be arranged by color and they're all in full bloom. we went in the summer, i could only imagine how this garden was like in full spring bloom!! another favorite part are the topiaries ... it's like being alice in wonderland ... they also have lots of fountains, secret gardens, meadows, gazebos, lakes, lilies, treehouses ... wonderful, wonderful ... tired, tired haha!! but this was one of our first trips to see PA and as you can imagine, every bit of the place just leaves us in awe!! also, don't forget to enjoy the illuminated fountain show at 9:00pm i believe, where lighted fountains dance to classical music .... lovely!! but you know what ... the walk was long enough, so, let's keep the talk short ... let's go see pictures :)
pictures or words are not enough to enjoy the beauty longwood gardens has to offer. and i've heard it's even prettier during winter ... i just didn't have the guts to go on a long walk on a cold winter day! well, maybe when i get myself a VERY good jacket, good boots and probably go on a not-so-freezing winter day ... we'll see .. till then!!
