Longwood Reimagined Continues |
We continue to make fantastic progress with our Longwood Reimagined project ... including our new Restaurant and Event space, which is really beginning to take shape! We are now placing nearly 2,000 square feet of glass among the 18 arched openings and three central arched doors that make up the beautiful façade, offering guests spectacular views of our Main Fountain Garden. Following completion of the glass installation, we will turn our attention to the interior of this amazing new space. We can’t wait to welcome you to the new 1906 dining room and Fountain Room event space in fall 2024.
Want to learn more about this expansive project? Register for an upcoming Longwood Reimagined Member Talk on March 12 at 10:30 am or April 17 at 5 pm.

Join Us for Our Pop-Up Clivia Display! |
Don't miss a special display of Longwood’s six clivia releases, each a beautiful representation of our esteemed clivia breeding program. From March 15–20 near the Conservatory Green Wall, get an up-close look at the buttery yellow Clivia miniata ‘Longwood Debutante’; ‘Longwood Fireworks’ with stamens that appear to shoot out of the flowers like fireworks; ‘Longwood Sunrise’ with its beautiful orange keeled petals; ‘Longwood Chimes’ and its complex blend of bronze, burnt orange, and dark red; ‘Longwood Sunset’, representing a color breakthrough in our clivia breeding program with its soft, salmon tones; and ‘Longwood Winter Green’, our first green clivia released from our breeding program, representing a rarity in the plant world. The rare, yellow-flowered Clivia ‘Sir John Thouron’—which helped kick start our breeding program in 1976—will also be on display.
On March 18 at 1 pm, join us for our last Science Saturday of the season. We'll explore the plant breeding journey taken to produce a superior yellow flowering clivia and share the secrets behind growing these very special plants … which will be on view at our Pop-up Clivia Display.
