Marian Coffin Gardens at Gibraltar

Marian Coffin’s garden design here at Gibraltar in Wilmington Delaware is romantic, with great statuary, this now feels like a secret garden due to the fact that the house of the estate is unfortunately in disrepair. Coffin, a landscape architect for the East Coast elite including designing the reflecting pool at Winterthur.
The garden is free to enter and a very enjoyable wander indeed.

Beautiful gardens and nice pond. Water lilies were blooming too.

Quite a small garden - no big groups or food allowed.

Bring a book and just sit awhile.

Car lacking limited, but just park on a nearby street, not across double lines though.

So peaceful and beautiful. The pond was gorgeous. We even sat there for a little while just enjoying the quietness and tranquility.

We wanted to come back again in the future. The garden is tucked away in a nice residential area of Wilmington.
