Longwood Gardens has been named the most beautiful botanical garden in the world, writes Stacey Leasca for Travel + Leisure. 

In June, the United Kingdom’s Titan Travel released its much-anticipated study, researching the world’s most stunning flower gardens. To gain an accurate representation of visitors’ favorites, the team scoured social media platforms, such as TikTok and Instagram, reviewed sites like Trip Advisor, and utilized Google search data to discover what people were searching for across the world, giving each garden a cumulative score of 1 to 10.  

Coming in at No. 1 was Kennett Square’s very own Longwood Gardens, with a score of 6.86.  

Seated in the rolling hills of Brandywine Valley, Longwood Gardens is a stunning portrait of botanical beauty, with over 10,000 species and varieties of plants.

With more than 1,000 acres to roam, guests can explore the breathtaking gardens, open meadows, and gorgeous pathways to take in the Chester County vistas.  

“The winning gardens also had among the highest volumes of posts on social media, as well as a 22.2 percent increase in searches over the last two years,” the study noted.

Also included in the research was Longwood’s five-star review rating on Trip Advisor, where 19 percent of visitors used the word “beautiful” to describe the garden.
