HANDS-ON SUMMER FUN

Looking for summer fun for kids? Our Youth Workshops are the perfect solution! Designed for students ages 10–16, these workshops offer fun learning opportunities from creating nature-inspired sculptures and growing fragrant herbs, to learning new art techniques and building a succulent container garden. Kids learn alongside expert instructors, gaining new skills and making memorable discoveries in an engaging and inspiring environment.

DIVE DEEP INTO AQUATIC BEAUTY

Our newly enhanced Waterlily Court made its much-anticipated debut earlier this summer—and this masterfully curated space is once again showcasing diverse aquatic plants from around the globe, as well as hybrids developed here at our Gardens.

Join Longwood Horticulture Specialty Grower and aquatics expert Tim Jennings online on July 8 at 12 pm as he dives into the breadth of our waterlily collection; must-see and new aquatic plants in our Waterlily Court, as well as inside outside of our West Conservatory; and the story behind such favorites as our iconic Victoria ‘Longwood Hybrid’ water-platters. Inspired by our aquatics or wondering how best to care for your existing aquatic garden? Jennings will also discuss growing tips and expert insight for home aquatic gardens.
