NEW CASTLE COUNTY, Del. — "Celebrate every season in Winterthur’s naturalistic gardens, masterpieces of color and design." Home and Backyard visits the Quarry Garden where Carole Long gives us an exclusive tour. This unique garden space is designed around a quarry and is filled with Japanese Primrose in harmonious shades. Visitors can meander across the beautiful stone bridge to gaze at the sweeping views of the property. Plus, Paul Epsom quizzes the Winterthur experts on Oregon Grape Holly.
Lyrical color combinations delight visitors of all ages with a year-round succession of bloom. The garden is a result of the artistic vision of its creator, Henry Francis du Pont (1880-1969) and is surrounded by nearly 1,000 acres of meadows, farmland, and waterways." There are amazing views in all directions with winding paths highlighting the beauty of the gardens. Explore the garden on foot, or on a narrated tram ride.
