Once part of a land grant from Billy Penn to William Wood, the property was later home to one of Chester County&#8217;s most modern dairy farms. Over the years, the gardens continued to evolve, from formal rose gardens and terraces to a more naturalistic landscape shaped by renowned landscape designer and architect Sally Wood. Today, the grounds are a beautiful blend of history, thoughtful design, and native plantings-and have even been featured by the Smithsonian. Come along with Ruth for a look inside this extraordinary garden and discover the stories that have shaped it over generations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Executive Producers: Ruth McKeaney and Homeworthy Productions<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">For more of Ruth McKeaney, be sure to subscribe to her <a data-ylk=\"slk:YouTube channel;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC2ZinELWGh0YVIfySpg3Gdg\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube channel<\/a><br \/><a data-ylk=\"slk:Buy her book;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hungry4home.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Buy her book<\/a><\/p>\n<p>More Episodes<a data-ylk=\"ct:story;elm:img;itc:0;\" class=\"stretched-box\" href=\"https:\/\/homeworthy.com\/watch\/a-cottage-garden-with-ducks-a-mini-meadow-in-the-english-countryside\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/homeworthy_110\/a5c104f2f869584cac0fcb8e0d8aa780.jpeg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a data-ylk=\"slk:A Cottage Garden with Ducks &amp;
