Longwood is now comprised of nearly 1,100 acres of indoor and outdoor gardens, wetlands, meadows, and other natural habitats. Visitors can stroll the winding paths to take in rare and exotic flowers, and marvel at the meticulously kept lawns and towering, historic trees. In the spring, the gardens come to eye-popping life with blankets of tulips and, in the winter, the grounds are bedecked in festive lights. Even if the weather doesn’t cooperate, there’s plenty to see and do inside, with a 4.5-acre conservatory home to more than 4,500 plants and trees.

While the sights at Longwood Gardens are impressive alone, it is also a hub of education. Visitors are encouraged to learn about all of the different collections and take part in workshops, courses, tours, and hands-on activities to deepen their horticultural knowledge. More than 1.5 million people visit the site each year, which has led the area around Longwood Garden to explode with shopping, dining, and entertainment to capture all those guests — just another bonus for those living in apartments near Longwood Gardens!
