longwood-garden-logoA multimillion-dollar development currently under way at Kennett Square’s Longwood Gardens will amaze visitors when it opens in May next year, writes Michael Tanenbaum for Philly Voice.

According to Paul Redman, president and CEO of Longwood Gardens, the project is in its final phase and is starting to look like a complete garden.

Renovations include improvements to the landscape and horticultural displays, an expanded set of walkways, as well as the addition of LED lights, which will bring to life a colorful aquatic choreography for visitors.

The Main Garden Fountain is designed by Beyer Blinder Belle, West 8, and Fluidity Design Consulates, and modeled on the original vision of Pierre S. du Pont, who opened the luxurious estate to the public.

“The old fountain garden was beautiful and lovely, but what you will see when we are done will just blow your mind,” said Redman. “With the new color palette, we will have millions of colors of lights. Just imagine water dancing.”
