This has led me to make a little trip down to Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania… after a friend mentioned it was one of the most beautiful gardens in the country.

As I’m sure you can see from the pictures, Longwood Gardens is indeed stunningly beautiful. They have many different displays to see throughout their grounds…from the Flower Garden Walk (which is currently in bloom) to their Meadow Garden (will be in bloom this summer) to my personal favorite… their very large Conservatory.
