Longwood Gardens, outside of Philadelphia, has the best conservatory I have ever seen, with four acres under glass in 20 rooms.  Gibbs

Gardens in Georgia has the best outdoor gardens and Bellingsgrath Gardens in Alabama has the best Japanese gardens. 

     Pierre DuPont bought the 400 acres in 1906 to develop the Longwood Gardens and build a home.  Acreage was added through the years.  In the outdoor garden there is a dancing fountains area, a large section of flowering plants, and the DuPont home contains a museum.
