Whether it’s a majestic lakeside path or street in the heart of a city, there’s no place in the world that isn’t improved without some flowers, and there are gardens full of beautifully arranged displays everywhere – but where are the best?
Well, when it comes to flower gardens, destinations such as Keukenhof, the Netherlands’ largest and most famous flower festival, likely spring to mind. However, according to research by Titan Travel, which used Tiktok, Instagram, Tripadvisor and Google search data to find the most beautiful flower gardens, five other destinations ranked highest.
The first of these was Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania, which is home to over 1,077 acres of land and a staggering 10,000 species of plants. It’s also highly ‘gram-worthy, with 307,185 posts tagging the location and 6,096 mentions on TikTok. You can read more about it, and the other entries for the US, here.
In second place was Shinjuku Gyo-en, which knocked Longwood out of the flower garden with a jaw-dropping 713,595 Instagram posts tagged at the location. 713,595. And though Shinjuku Gyo-en is in Tokyo, it’s home to not just a Japanese garden, but also an English and a French garden – check out the rest of the list below.
