Back in the USA

     OK, enough travel abroad for a while, so now I am off to see some famous US gardens.  This is  Longwood Gardens, about 30 miles southwest of Philadelphia. It was first developed by the Peirce family in the late 1700s.  In 1906 Pierre du Pont bought the property and began extensive garden projects.  The huge conservancy is the finest I have ever seen, with many rooms of beautiful displays.
