Longwood Gardens Bus Is Headed Our Way
Before we get into the awesome new transportation, let's talk about how Time Magazine just named Longwood Gardens as one of the Greatest Places in the World!
Here’s part of what TIME had to say about the magical place:
Since 1906, Longwood Gardens, 30 miles outside of Philadelphia, has offered one of the world’s greatest horticultural displays, encompassing 1,100 acres of alluring gardens, woodlands, and meadows, plus a grandiose conservatory. In November it unveiled Longwood Reimagined: A New Garden Experience, an ambitious revitalization ahead of its 100th birthday. The renovation saw the addition of new buildings and landscapes across 17 acres of its central grounds
Let me add that I was very fortunate to go to Amsterdam last year during peak tulip season. It was magical, but I have to admit, Longwood Gardens is equally as breath-taking. Whether you go during Christmas to see the holiday lights and magic or during the summer for the incredible fountain show (I have been during both) and you will never be disappointed. Every time I've been, I'm always in awe.
