Main Line School Night
Start by exploring Long Island's premier arboretum and historic site, the Planting Fields at Coe Hall. Landscaped by the Olmstead brothers, the grounds, green houses and gardens are spectacular, offering a retreat for horticulturists, history and design enthusiasts, and visitors looking for state-of-the-art gardening solutions. Glimpse the former life of the owners when you visit Coe Hall, a 65-room Tudor-revival mansion. Lunch on your own at the café. Then travel to Old Westbury Gardens, considered the finest English garden in the U.S., where you can stroll among wildflower-filled nooks, grand allées, ponds and formal gardens. Also see Westbury House, the magnificent Charles II-style mansion.   

Bus leaves from Radnor Financial Center promptly at 8 am. No credit for withdrawals after 5/27.
