IFWTWA Media Trip
Brandywine Valley, PA
June 4-7, 2025
Escape to Chester County’s Brandywine Valley in the lush countryside outside Philadelphia. The heart of America’s Garden Capital, the Brandywine Valley is always in bloom. Discover fascinating histories, inspiring arts, and hidden countryside gems. Settle into vibrant downtowns lined with local shops, homegrown restaurants, and small-town charms as a central hub for your visit.
Longwood Garden’s Reimagined: A New Garden is a highlight of the trip. Opened in November 2024, the new 32,000-square-foot West Conservatory is the centerpiece and largest component of Longwood Garden’s expansion. Its asymmetrical peaks rise from a pool on which the entire building seemingly floats, while its islands of interior Mediterranean-inspired gardens are set amid pools, canals, and fountains in an exquisite design.
