Grace Amongst the Grandeur Lecture at UD Botanic Gardens

• Thursday, September 10 @ 7:00 pm
• University of Delaware Botanic Gardens, Newark, DE

Nemours Estate has undergone a massive shift in the visitor experience of the property, both in operations and interpretation, all in order to serve their primary audience, the patients and families of Nemours Children's Hospital. Ken will speak to the organization’s journey to becoming its most authentic version of itself, and along the way find the power in well-being. 

Ken Darsney is the Manager of Gardens and Grounds for Nemours Estate, the former home of Alfred I. duPont. Ken and his team oversee the care of the 300-acre property, which ranges from large-scale French-style formal gardens to native woodlands, and everything in between. Prior to this position, Ken was the Horticultural Supervisor for the State of Delaware’s Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs, overseeing the stewardship of the landscapes of over 40 historic properties throughout the State.
