Description:

Having lived in the greater Philadelphia area for nearly 40 years, I’ve had the pleasure of visiting Longwood Gardens many times with family and friends. Each visit has been special in its own way, and I’ve come to truly appreciate the beauty and uniqueness of this remarkable place. I’m especially excited to share it with my Princeton family and to enjoy it together.
Longwood Gardens is widely regarded as one of the finest botanic gardens in the world—and we’re lucky to have it right in our own backyard. We hope you’ll join us for a joyful mini-reunion, open to classmates, friends, and family; “children of all ages” have a great time.
Come spend a relaxed, fun-filled day strolling through Longwood’s stunning landscapes, catching up with old friends, and making new memories together. There’s something for everyone to enjoy, from the breathtaking 5-acre conservatory to the expansive 85-acre Meadow Garden, along with more than 200 acres of beautifully designed gardens, fountains, winding paths, and inviting gathering spaces.
Admission to the gardens will be covered by the Class. Lunch is on your own. All you need to bring is your sense of adventure and a readiness to enjoy the day.
Getting there is easy. Longwood Gardens is about 30 miles from Philadelphia. If you’re driving, simply use your favorite navigation app—there’s plenty of free parking available. Prefer the train? Take Amtrak or SEPTA Regional Rail to Wilmington, followed by a quick 20-minute Uber ride to the gardens.
Longwood is open from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. We suggest arriving by 11:00 AM so you’ll have plenty of time to explore before lunch is served at 12:30 PM.
We can’t wait to share this special day with you—come enjoy the beauty, the laughter, and the feeling of being together again.
Note: if you want to plan a longer stay, I am happy to recommend additional activities, to make your visit more enjoyable. Philadelphia has many great museums and just across the river in Camden, NJ is a great aquarium and the battleship New Jersey.
