Streambank Stabilization at Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library

Nestled in the heart of Delaware’s beautiful Brandywine Valley, Winterthur is the former estate and farm of Henry Francis du Pont. Today, Winterthur exists as a world-class center for the display and restoration of American decorative arts. What many don’t know is that it also includes 1,000 acres of woodlands, meadows and waterways, in addition to an extensive set of gardens both formal and naturalistic around the house. 

One of these gardens, set around a woodland stream, is called the March Bank and was the focus of our scheduled site visit in June 2024.
