I watched 3 Longwood Gardens videos tonight and this one is by far, the absolute best because of the music, informative commentary and enthusiasm. Thanks so much for this beautiful video that really captures (in my opinion) the true magic of the beautiful gardens.
I first visited Longwood Gardens when I was twelve years old. i suggest visiting in the warm weather months. While the Holiday decorations are festive, nothing comes close to the seasonal delights beginning in spring. It is a beautiful part of Pennsylvania. I would also recommend Garvin Gardens in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Longwood is definitely worth seeing every season of the year. We agree that Longwood is beautiful during the springtime when everything is blooming. We have never been to Garvin Gardens, but it looks really cool from pictures. Thanks for watching and Happy Holidays!
I was there 2 days ago - it is magical - I wish u had captured the fact that the Italian gardens lights r synchronized to the Nutcracker!❤ well worth the visit
Who is this man pretending to be Jon Lew whilst sporting such a spiffy Christmas Cardigan...? I am so used to Grizzly Adams presenting these videos. That Porter Music Box just screams Victorian Christmas - how wonderful! So do the DuPont House Christmas Trees, right down to the colors. The Garden Railway is the wonderment of Longwood Gardens. The East Conservatory is resplendent in its snowcover along with those gorgeous Christmas trees and flowers. The Ballroom masquerading as the Hall of Trees is truly the centerpiece of Longwood during the Festive Season, especially with the trees covered in bespoke ornaments from the various local Arts Organizations. The Bonsai display will forever be a highlight of Longwood Gardens, and the Icicle Tokonoma is the Crown Jewel of the Holidays. The Conservatories, the Holiday Fountain Show, the New 1906 Restaurant (not surprised that libations were ordered seconds after you were seated - well done y'all) - the menu scroll was brilliantly helpful, as was the inclusion of the dishes ordered. The only thing better than all the above, is all the above at night. Such a beautiful experience. Thanks for sharing this wonderful experience. Kudos, as always, to the excellent camera work. Cheers!
Haha.. yeah someone needed to clean up for the holiday photos. The conservatories are always the highlight of Longwood Christmas. We did feel like there was a lack of holiday lights outside this year, but it was still an enjoyable evening.
I always look forward to your Longwood Christmas videos. You are getting better every year! I was there on 12/12 and agree with your conclusions. The inside lights/decorations were awesome. The outside lights were a bit underwhelming by Longwood standards and the crowds are heavy.
That is a lovely comment and I am glad you enjoy our videos. I am glad that you agree with our comments about the outdoor lights and crowds. Thanks for watching, and Happy Holidays! 🎄
That's awesome. We are releasing our recent trip to Longwood Christmas on my channel this evening. I share some tips for this year on that video. You will definitely have a great time. Happy Holidays!
Nice, I thought the outdoor lighting was sparce last year, I felt they were holding back on the WOW Factor last year for this years new addition. This years new addition doesn't knock my socks off as advertised. Its not COLORFUL. Now they went low rent on the area near the meadow? 🎉 Wonder why they are holding back on outdoor lights. But they sure wanna sell Eggnog or Cider.😮 In Years past All the Trees Even the darn PARKING LOT were always lite up amazingly Since I was a Kid. You know they used to light Christmas 🎄 up FULLY. They charge full price for less lights. Id rather eat at SOVANA BISTRO beforehand. Than drop more $ there or in the gift shop.
We agree that this year missed the wow, especially by the meadows and outdoor gardens. There was a high fire risk given the fall drought so that seemed to be the reason when we asked, but we missed exploring outside. And yes, the new west conservatory isn’t colorful, but we keep saying YET. We are going to head back in the spring and see how things look. They definitely moved the lights to draw people closer to the new space, but we felt like the flow was gone and crowds bottlenecked in too many spaces. We still love Longwood though! Thanks for watching.
Longwood is located 30 miles from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in Kennett Square, PA. It is well worth a visit if you are in the region. Thanks for watching, and Happy Holidays!
Sorry that the audio is messed up! We didn’t adjust anything for the organ performance so we aren’t sure what’s wrong that we need to fix. Hopefully there were other parts of the video that you enjoyed.

@mark723 Grizzly needed to be spiffed up for Christmas card photos 😆

Is it worth it to just visit in the morning?
Absolutely! Even during the day, the gardens are beautiful and well worth visiting! Merry Christmas!
Where is Longview? I have never heard of it.
Longwood is located 30 miles from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in Kennett Square, PA. It is well worth a visit if you are in the region. Thanks for watching, and Happy Holidays!
You completely screwed up the audio on the organ bit!!!
Sorry that the audio is messed up! We didn’t adjust anything for the organ performance so we aren’t sure what’s wrong that we need to fix. Hopefully there were other parts of the video that you enjoyed.
How about Jesus??!!
We enjoy visiting Longwood for the gardens and lights, but we don’t work for them! Merry Christmas to you!
Nicely done - but next time - please, either shave or grow a full beard.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Happy holidays and merry Christmas!
