Pennsylvania Garden Named One of the Most Beautiful

Whether you love visiting gardens in the spring, summer or fall, the lovely terrain of Pennsylvania has plenty of beautiful gardens to get your fix. There's just nothing like the smell and views at a celebrated garden. Whether it's the beginning of spring and buds are just blossoming or the end of fall when the colors are changing, a trip to a beautiful garden is just a great way to spend the day or evening. What's really cool is that one Pennsylvania garden has been named one of the most beautiful in the U.S., so you don't have to travel far to enjoy this special spot.

I personally love visiting different gardens, because each one has its own unique vibe. Aside from enjoying gardens simply for their beauty, in a time when everyone has a camera on their phone, gardens can make for great photo shoots. I've certainly gone to some gardens and turned those visits into a photo shoot, and there's nothing wrong with that.

The travel experts at Reader's Digest have put together a tally of the best gardens in America. "If you're looking to escape the house and take a day trip or domestic vacation this summer, look no further than America's vibrant collection of botanical gardens and landscaped estates," they note in the feature. So, they trekked across the country to find the best gardens that America has to offer. Thankfully, this state made the cut.

As for which garden in Pennsylvania is in the feature, it's the Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, located at 1001 Longwood Road, about an hour west of Philadelphia. "The conservatory at Longwood Gardens is one of its most iconic spaces: Towering pillars hold a glass roof aloft above myriad flowering plants for an effect that is equal parts soothing and energizing, depending on your mood," the feature states about this beloved Pennsylvania spot. They also rave about how this garden has something to offer for all ages.

Just for kicks, let's look outside of the U.S. According to Expatliving.net, one of the best gardens in the world is The Gardens by the Bay in Singapore, which has the most Instagram photos of any other garden. They even call it the "most hash-tagged garden on the planet," with more than 50 million visitors going to that garden since it first opened. This garden also offers "waterfront gardens, the iconic Supertrees, the largest glass greenhouse in the world and – until Jewel Changi Airport came along – the world's largest indoor waterfall."
