The Longwood Gardens Alumni Association unites our more than 3,000 alumni from the Professional Horticulture Program, the Fellows Program, and the Intern and International Intern Programs under one dynamic Association. 

We keep alumni connected to each other and to Longwood, provide valuable services to members, and support the mission of Longwood. Wherever your professional journey takes you, being a part of the Longwood Gardens Alumni Association will offer you meaningful connections, a variety of resources, and many opportunities, including:

  • Exclusive alumni communications, including a quarterly newsletter featuring stories, updates, events, and opportunities from across all three programs and Longwood Gardens.
  • Programs, events and professional development opportunities, designed to support your growth including longstanding offerings such as symposia, scholarships, travel grants, as well as new programs for you to network and connect, developed by alumni.
  • Longwood Chimes, the twice-yearly publication that tells stories, recalls history, and shares milestones about Longwood Gardens within its pages.
  • Free membership. The Association is not dues-based.
