Longwood Reimagined Member Previews |
We invite you to experience the excitement of all of Longwood Reimagined—first—with our Members previews taking place November 3–17. During these special previews, enjoy exclusive access to our wondrous new spaces before their public opening on November 22.
Explore the new West Conservatory, a Mediterranean garden under glass with islands of plants set amid bridges, canals, fountains, and water features. Rediscover the Cascade Garden, preserved and relocated to its own new, custom glasshouse. Enjoy the serenity of our new Bonsai Courtyard, an outdoor gallery space artfully showcasing our acclaimed bonsai collection … and see it all, first.
Reservations not required for Gardens Premium Members and Innovators. Please note, your Membership must be active on the day you plan to visit. If your expiration date is before the previews, please renew first, then make your free Member reservation.

Longwood Reimagined Update
|
As we draw ever closer to opening Longwood Reimagined in the fall, work on the West Conservatory continues. The extraordinary design by WEISS/MANFREDI calls for the 32,000 square-foot building to seemingly float on water. Vital components of that design are the water features that surround the structure and will offer dazzling reflections of the building’s unique steel formation and roofline. This month we will put the finishing touches on the 19,300 square feet of exterior water features that surround the West Conservatory, with the goal of filling them later in September. The 8,200 square feet of interior water features are slated to be filled in late August. We can’t wait to share this beautiful creation with you!
Want to learn more about this expansive project? Join Longwood staff for an upcoming Longwood Reimagined Member Talk on August 22 or September 12 at 7 pm. Registration required, space limited.
