Andalusia, situated along the banks of the Delaware River, with its landscape dominated by large specimen shade trees on a lawn surrounding a Greek-Revival mansion, has chosen to use this Greek/ Latin concept as the guiding principle for its Landscape Collections Policy.

Though rooted in the English Landscape tradition, Andalusia is not meant to be an historic landscape. Its gardens and grounds have continuously evolved since the late 18th Century. We believe the areas surrounding our historic national landmark building should serve to enhance our visitor’s experience, providing a place of beauty and serenity for all to enjoy. Therefore our plants are collected based on their ornamental value and whether they contribute to the sense of peace and enjoyment that we have carefully curated for our visitors.
