A Report from Longwood Garden and Chanticleer. . .
 | | Longwood Garden |
We checked in with Longwood and Chanticleer Gardens. . .two favorites on our Brandywine Valley Garden Tour Scheduled for October 13-15. . . to see how their gardens held up during the recent storms.
The report back from both is that the abundant rain will lead to a fabulous fall. What luck! Join us for this extraordinary program as we tour Hortulus Farm, Chanticleer Garden, attend the Perennial Plant Conference at Swarthmore College and visit Scott Arboretum and Longwood Garden.
