EAST MARLBOROUGH â Longwood Gardens has announced a $250 million expansion project that will include a new 32,000-square-foot glasshouse West Conservatory, a 3,800-square-foot, custom-built cascade garden, a new bonsai courtyard, a waterlily court, a new public restaurant and private event space, a new administration building, and a transformation of its century-old Orchard House.
"It's a massive project," said Paul Redman, CEO of Longwood Gardens. "It's our most complicated project that we have ever embarked upon. It will be a new garden experience like no other."
Work on the project will begin this spring. The Main and East Conservatories will remain open throughout the year and planned events and performances will continue to be held, pending pandemic-era restrictions.
