What's in Bloom
There is always something blooming at London Town! Stroll through the 13-acres of ornamental and woodland gardens and no matter what time of the year, you will find something in bloom. These gardens represent the culmination and continuation of hundreds of years of global horticultural discovery, trade, and experimentation. In a sense, to tour these gardens is to visit a museum of the history of botanical exploration.
If you are a gardener, our plant collections may inspire you and expand your sense of possibilities for your own garden. We hope you will relax and linger as you walk through wooded ravines, explore the dell, and look out over the South River.
Sign up for our gardens emails to get updates about the gardens, great gardening tips, and see what's in bloom. Check out a few of our featured blossoms:
