By working with nature and never against it—and to adapt to the needs of its Mediterranean-inspired plant palette—we built our West Conservatory with energy-efficiency and sustainability at top of mind.

. It’s our very first winter with the new West Conservatory, meaning it’s your very first chance to witness this architectural showstopper begin its peak flowering season.

Many moving parts came into play when planning for and opening our new gardens, glasshouses, and landscapes. One such component was the multi-faceted (and multi-year) approach to creating the hundreds of plant display labels for our new spaces.

We’re thrilled to welcome you to an unparalleled new chapter in our legacy—a 17-acre expansion and reimagination of our grounds, serving as the most ambitious undertaking in our history. With the addition of these 17 acres of new gardens, new landscapes, and new buildings are many more opportunities for holiday magic.

Our November 22 opening of Longwood Reimagined continues to draw nearer, and with each passing day not only do we continue to make great progress, but we grow even more excited to share its beauty with you.

We recently marked a major horticultural moment in our Longwood Reimagined: A New Garden Experience project—28 major moments, to be exact.

In recent months, we’ve reached several notable milestones as our garden expansion continues to take shape and as our cultural landscape evolves … and now is a wonderful time to share with you some of that progress.

As our Gardens continue to take shape and as our cultural landscape evolves, we are delighted to share with you a few of the many facets of this incredibly detailed project.
