From a detailed look at its groundbreaking design, to an exploration of its living collections, experience firsthand the stories and evolution of Longwood Reimagined: A New Garden Experience—from the experts themselves—with our Longwood Reimagined Lecture Series.
Join us in this exciting look at gardening under glass while exploring the history of conservatories near and far—including Longwood, Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens (Pittsburgh, PA); and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (London, UK)—and how these spaces have evolved over time. President and CEO of Phipps Richard Piacentini; Director of Gardens at Kew Richard Barley; and Longwood Chief Horticulture and Facilities Officer Sharon Loving discuss what makes a successful conservatory, why glasshouses can be challenging, and what future horticulture opportunities they may present. Learn about cutting-edge innovations and technologies that are pushing the boundaries of what is possible in conservatories—and how we can make them even more sustainable in the future.
