A new book portrays the story of those places, and its photographer and writer are here today to take us on some virtual visits to these must-see gardens. "Du Pont Gardens of the Brandywine Valley" profiles five gardens created by generations of the du Pont industrial family\\u2014Longwood, Winterthur, and Mt. Cuba\\u2014among them. It\\u2019s rich with photographs by Larry Lederman and words by Marta McDowell, both of whom I\'m pleased to welcome to the podcast.
