Goodstay Gardens, Wilmington DE

Goodstay Gardens is another DuPont family garden also designed by  Marian Cruger Coffin, the first female landscape architect in the US.  It is now part of the university of DE, Wilmington Campus. The garden is a series of 'rooms' partitioned off by boxwood hedges. These is the rose garden and iris garden.

Above is the Knot garden where the knot is formed by the hardscaping instead of the plants.

 

I loved the peaceful beauty of this public garden and also the little ways they incorporated and preserved their history.
