The Importance of Reclaiming Louise's Garden

The Hagley Museum in Delaware is the site of the original DuPont factory where a great American fortune was made in gunpowder. A DuPont heiress named Louise Crowninschield turned all that destruction into a garden. But then she died in 1958, and everything that she worked to preserve this somehow got lost to time. As the world shut down in the spring of 2020, flowers dormant for decades here started to bloom. Azaleous, tulips, peonies.
