and other aquatic plants. During Autumn’s Colors fall foliage is the main attraction, and the conservatory hosts the Chrysanthemum Festival. The Chrysanthemum Festival features a single chrysanthemum with more than 1,000 perfect blooms (October 26–November 24). The Autumn’s Colors display, which includes the Mum Festival, runs September 7–November 24. Christmas is as colorful and abundant as any season at Longwood with thousands of poinsettias and cheery carolers (November 28–January 12). Longwood offers a calendar of classes for would-be gardeners of all ages and experience. The gardens are constantly evolving, and much has changed at Longwood Gardens since the days of du Pont. The famed Longwood Organ, a 10,010-pipe instrument installed in 1930, completed an extensive restoration in 2011. Road reconstruction is underway to enlarge the meadow and create boardwalk access to wetlands. And Longwood has grown a solar field to offset electricity needs, an innovation that technology-minded du Pont would have approved of. But one thing remains unchanged: du Pont’s gardens continue to delight all visitors.
