Du Pont Gardens Of The Brandywine Valley

Renowned as America's first family of horticulturists, the du Pont family has created magnificent landscapes and gardens in the Brandywine Valley, a beautiful rolling landscape nestled between Philadelphia and Wilmington, Delaware. Five of their estates - Hagley Museum and Library, Nemours Estate, Mt. Cuba Center, Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library, and Longwood Gardens - are open to the public, each showcasing formal plantings juxtaposed with carefully tended natural forests.

This book, illustrated with photographs by Larry Lederman, captures the essence of these places, changing with the seasons and the day, from dawn to dusk.
