Henry Francis du Pont, 1880-1969, who left his 175-room collection of American decorative arts (1660-1850) to the management of the Winterthur Museum and Country Estate in 1951, and moved out of the house himself, never gave up responsibility for the park and gardens.
Six years before his death, he created his last garden in an old quarry on the estate.
Flowers, he said, were his passion.
