The autumn season is in full-swing. With vibrant hues exploding from every tree and shrub in the Philadelphia area landscaped garden, perhaps you’ve had enough color. If so, that’s okay.
However, if you prefer to relish every rich shade the season has to offer and like the idea of an extravagant, bursting-at-the-seams-with-color, gorgeous sensory experience, why not take a trip to enjoy one of Longwood Gardens holiday events? Longwood Gardens is open year round, attracting nearly 900,000 visitors annually to the Tri-State New Jersey, Philadelphia and Delaware area.
The recent Longwood Gardens’ Nightscape: A Light and Sound Experience transformed Longwood Gardens into a magical place, as the gardens became a living canvas for beautiful dancing lights and guests were serenaded by music designed to set imaginations aglow! New and ongoing events at Longwood Gardens include…
The Chrysanthemum Festival at Longwood Gardens

A visual treat annually at Longwood Gardens is the Chrysanthemum Festival, the largest mum exhibition in the United States. From now through November 22, you have the opportunity to surround yourself in over 16,000 chrysanthemum plants. Each one is brilliantly crafted in a plethora of unique designs – clouds, spirals, balls, columns, pagodas and fountains. All are achieved by implementing the techniques of the highly revered traditional Japanese and Chinese art form.
A truly spectacular sight will be the display of the largest Thousand Bloom Chrysanthemum outside Asia. This amazing plant features over 1500 exquisitely formed flowers on one plant! Breathtaking! The website says, “Chrysanthemums were first grown and displayed at Longwood in 1921 when founder Pierre S. du Pont opened the Conservatory. Longwood now has one of the largest and oldest chrysanthemum shows in North America, showcasing all 13 classes of mums grown into unusual forms, such as spirals, shields, orbs, and more.”
