Adding new plantings and buildings across 17 acres, Longwood Reimagined: A New Garden Experience will expand the public spaces of the renowned central grounds and connect them from east to west, offering a newly unified but continually varied journey from lush formal gardens to views over the open meadows of Pennsylvania\u2019s Brandywine Valley.<\/p>\n<p>In keeping with Longwood\u2019s tradition of blending fountain gardens and horticultural display, the centerpiece and largest single element of Longwood Reimagined is the creation of a new 32,000-square-foot glasshouse, designed by WEISS\/MANFREDI, with gardens and pools designed by Reed Hilderbrand. This new West Conservatory with its asymmetrical, crystalline peaks seems to float on a pool of water, while the garden inside, inspired by the wild and cultivated landscapes of the Mediterranean, is conceived as seasonally changing islands set amid pools, canals, and low fountains.<\/p>\n<p>In the tapestry-like garden design, iconic plants of this ecology such as aloes, laurels, blueblossom, and Greek horehound hug the ground, with higher plants such as cypress and 100-year-old olive trees rising up into the soaring space while other plantings are suspended from above. Building on the great 19th \u2013 century tradition of glasshouses through new sustainable technologies, the West Conservatory is a living, breathing building, with earth tubes and operable glass walls and roof that allow the interior garden to thrive.<\/p>\n<p><em>For more information about Longwood Reimagined: A New Garden experience, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/longwoodgardens.org\/longwood-reimagined\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Longwood Reimagined | Longwood Gardens<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Longwood Reimagined will transform 17 acres of existing property and feature a 32,000 SF glasshouse at the heart of its renowned garden grounds.","protected":false},"featured_media":6885,"parent":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"project_type":[47],"market_type":[26],"class_list":["post-6805","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project_type-cm-w-a-gmp","market_type-cultural"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n<title>Longwood Reimagined -
