The Harmony of Home & Garden: How Nature Shaped Winterthur's Interiors

Grandma's Silver · 2025-04-30

Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library is more than a historic estate—it's a masterpiece where interiors and gardens exist in perfect harmony. In this episode, I'm once again joined by Alexandra Deutsch, Director of Collections at Winterthur, to explore how H.F. du Pont's passion for horticulture directly influenced his legendary approach to interior design.

We'll uncover the ways du Pont brought the beauty of the outdoors inside, from floral motifs and botanical-inspired color palettes to the art of seasonal decorating. Plus, Alexandra shares how Winterthur continues to preserve this deep connection between home and nature today. Whether you're a design lover, a history enthusiast, or someone who dreams of living with the seasons, this episode is full of inspiration from one of America's most storied estates.
