GUYS & DOLLS Set for Longwood Gardens in July & August
by Jonathan Nisman - Jul 13, 2010
The Longwood Gardens is one of the great gardens of the world. They present the arts in an unparalleled setting to bring pleasure and inspire the imagination of their guests. They contribute to society through excellent and diverse education programs, horticulture research, environmental stewardship, and cultural and community engagement. In 1906, Pierre S. du Pont purchased the Peirce Arboretum to save its trees from being cut for lumber. Over the next nearly half century, Mr. du Pont developed Longwood Gardens into what it is today, a magnificent horticultural showplace. The Longwood Gardens now encompass 1,050 acres of gardens, woodlands, and meadows. There are over 11,000 types of plants, more fountains than any other garden in the US, educational and visitor programming, and over 400 performances a year. Longwood Gardens are located at 1001 Longwood Road, Kennett Square, PA 19348. Tickets are available at tickets.longwoodgardens.org or in person at Central Ticketing, or by calling 610-388-5200.
