Texture, pattern, and rhythm add layers of richness and interest to a garden. Our founder Pierre S. du Pont was certainly inspired by motifs and recurring themes apparent in classical European garden design, and sought to introduce these concepts into the Gardens he envisioned for Longwood. In this issue of the Longwood Chimes we look at the rich textures of Longwood Gardens, from the diverse talents and personalities of our staff, to the elegant structure of nature, to the rhythm of a historic instrument. Other featured articles highlight the legacy of camellias at Longwood, our Bonsai Collection, our new President of the Board of Trustees, and much more. Enjoy The Chimes.
