- In 1906, industrialist Pierre du Pont purchased a small farm near Kennett Square, PA, to save a collection of historic trees. Throughout his life, Mr. du Pont indulged his passion for gardening, turning his small farm into a magnificent horticultural showplace. Today, Longwood Gardens is among the finest gardens in the world, promoting innovation in horticulture through world class display and research, and contributing to society through robust education programs, environmental stewardship and community engagement.
