March Bank Begun in 1902, when Henry Francis du Pont was twenty-two, March Bank is the oldest surviving garden area at Winterthur. Du Pont studied The Wild Garden (1904) and other writings by British horticulturist William Robinson (1838-1935). Using these ideas, du Pont began naturalizing daffodils on the bank and by the 1940s had planted thousands of snowdrops, snowflakes, crocus, squills and glory-of-the-snow. Submitted by @lampbane

Oak Hill & Enchanted Woods This area may be enjoyed by strolling along the grassy areas that afford spectacular views of the surrounding countryside and ponds below. Drifts of colorful native and exotic azaleas bloom from April into summer. Lavender colchicum carpet the hill in autumn, echoed by the purple beautyberries nearby. It is said that "faerie folkes are in old oakes." Woodland fairies gathered relics from the Winterthur estate and farm to create Enchanted Woods, a special garden for children and families.
