Celebrate the early-spring garden and bulb display on the beautiful March Bank with a day of events. The event gets its name from the du Pont family custom of walking the path from the March Bank to Magnolia Bend at this time of year looking for the first flowers in the garden.
Author Rick Darke will present a lecture about the wild garden style, which greatly influenced Henry Francis du Pont, in an 11:00 am lecture, followed by a book signing.
Admission includes access to the plant sale of snowdrops, cyclamens, and perennials (Member-exclusive presale, 9:00–10:00 am), the guided Director’s Garden Walk, and guided and self-guided walking tours of the garden. Self-guided tours, plant sale, and guided garden walk included with admission. Members free. Lecture may be added for $10. Registration recommended.
