Saturday, June 7, is the Bayard Taylor Library's annual Home & Garden Day. I was treated to a sneak preview of many of the sites on the tour (oh, yes, believe me, there were strings attached to my visits), and you are in for a treat this spring. Take it from someone who has been going on the tour for probably 15 years. The Special Events Committee members always line up a variety of houses to suit different tastes, but this year's selection is really amazing. Several of the houses and gardens are just a stone's throw off Route 52 in southern Chester County/northern Delaware corridor, and you'll be amazed at the places that you've driven by en route to Wilmington without giving them a second thought. My favorite had to be the grand-scale 1920s manor house with soaring ceilings, a tower, intricate carvings and ironwork, and a winding double staircase leading out the front yard.
Ticket information for the tour is available on the library's website, bayardtaylor.org.
