Lectures, Courses and Workshops
Join our legacy of lifetime learning at Longwood Gardens. For 50 years, students have been enjoying our beautiful living classroom. Whether you are a beginner, a professional or an avid gardener, you can "grow" your skills and knowledge through our classes, courses and workshops.
Our core courses focus on the essentials of growing plants, using them in your landscape, maintaining a garden and using cut flowers in designs.
Our themed courses highlight topics of the season. You will find classes to help you enjoy spring blooms, orchids, florals, containers for outdoor small spaces and more!
Longwood Gardens is committed to the principle of equal educational opportunities without discrimination by race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, presence of legally protected disability, or any other legally protected status.
