About this listen
From a humble grove of trees to a 1,000-acre "cathedral of glass," discover how a quiet act of Quaker conservation inspired one of the world's most spectacular gardens. This week, we explore the history of Longwood Gardens—from its origins as a family arboretum to its transformation by industrial genius Pierre du Pont. We’ll dive into the high-tech engineering of the Main Fountain Garden, the "Gilded Age" family drama behind the scenes, and the visionary legacy that turned a private sanctuary into a public treasure.
