Visit two gardens designed by David Culp on this special garden tour. We will begin at Brandywine Cottage, David’s beloved 2-acre Downingtown, Pennsylvania garden where he has mastered the design technique of layering: inter-planting many different species in the same area so that as one plant passes its peak, another takes over. It is a stunning garden in every season and we will be visiting when the meadow should be reaching its autumn display. We will then drive to the nearby Bondsville Mill Park , where David will guide us through “Culp’s Clearing,” the meadow he designed and that was planted in spring 2023. Brandywine Cottage is listed in the Smithsonian Institution Archives of American Gardens. Visit David’s website to see all of the beautiful images and information about Brandywine Cottage and what David has created.
