Longwood Gardens to Unveil Historic Expansion This November

KENNETT SQUARE PA — On November 22, 2024, Longwood Gardens will open "Longwood Reimagined," a sweeping renovation and expansion that has been in progress for the last three years. This ambitious project revitalizes 17 acres of the gardens, blending historical preservation with innovative new features. The centerpiece is the West Conservatory, a 32,000-square-foot glasshouse that appears to float on water and houses Mediterranean-inspired gardens.

The project also includes the relocation of the historic Cascade Garden, the creation of a Bonsai Courtyard featuring one of North America's most distinguished bonsai collections, and new outdoor pathways connecting different sections of the gardens.

Downingtown Water Authority to Perform Hydrant Flushing on Tuesday and Wednesday

DOWNINGTOWN, PA — The Downingtown Municipal Water Authority will conduct its semi-annual hydrant flushing on October 22 and 23 to maintain high-quality water service and ensure fire hydrants are in good working condition.
