Longwood Gardens
Botanical Garden · Kennett Square, Pennsylvania
Eleven hundred acres in Chester County that Pierre S. du Pont bought in 1906 to stop a sawmill taking the trees, and then spent the rest of his life turning into the most ambitious garden in the United States. It holds one of the largest conservatory complexes in the world, a fountain garden with seventeen hundred jets that was rebuilt from the ground up in 2017, and an organ of ten thousand pipes built into a ballroom. It is the most visited botanical garden in the country and it is open every day of the year.
