Solenberger Garden
August 27, 2006

This Wilmington, Delaware garden was once an abandoned rock quarry. The lower garden descends down the quarry side and incorporates several stone paths. It is a construction marvel of moved earth and stone, with a Japanese feel owing much to the ten years of careful development by the Solenbergers.
