America’s Garden Capital
About This Tour
Come with us for three spectacular spring days in America’s Garden Capital! Nestled in the rolling hills of southeastern Pennsylvania and northern Delaware, the Brandywine Valley has more public gardens than anywhere else in America. On this extraordinary journey we will enjoy leisurely visits to truly stunning estates, including Chanticleer, Nemours, Winterthur, and the garden that was just named the most beautiful garden in America – Longwood Gardens. We will also explore the captivating story of the DuPonts, one of the wealthiest families in America. If you love flowers and rambling brooks and beautiful bird songs as you are immersed in lush gardens, you will absolutely love this trip.
