It’s been 10 years since we debuted our expanded Meadow Garden! Join us September 20 from 4 to 7 pm when we’ll celebrate with a variety of walks, talks, and opportunities to experience all this beautiful space means to Longwood—and to our region—and to learn more about this 86-acre designed natural landscape showcasing land stewardship techniques that beautifully blend horticulture and ecology.

Longwood Reimagined Update
|
It is an exciting week for many of our staff as we move into The Grove! This beautiful new space will be a place of collaboration, innovation, and learning. The airy, bright, and open design offers amazing views of the West Conservatory as well as the historic grove of London-plane trees for which the building was named. The Grove is also home to our Library and Archives, and the Studios for our Continuing Education classes, as well as the Studios for our online programs that reach students around the world. Staff from our Library and Information Services are already busy unpacking boxes of materials and settling in! We can’t wait to begin holding classes in the Studios in October, or sharing these beautiful new spaces with you during our Member Previews November 3-17. Have you made your reservation for our Member Previews? Sign up here. And, make your reservation for our new 1906 dining experience as part of your Member Preview experience.
Want to learn more about this expansive project? Join Longwood staff for our last Longwood Reimagined Member Talk on September 12 at 7 pm. Registration required, space limited.
