Brandywine River Garden Tour
Join us for an intensive four days packed with some of the finest public and private gardens you will ever have the privilege to visit. The Brandywine River area is the largest concentration of public gardens in the world outside London. It is steeped in history with estate gardens, particularly those owned by the duPonts. The moderate climate allows private gardeners to use a plethora of plants we don’t see in the Midwest. The end of June will be an ideal time to see gardens at their best.
