Percy's Gardens

 


Meet Percy. He is one of the Longwood Gardens cats. I am assuming he is named after the Peirce family, who owned the property before the Du Pont's purchased it and turned the farm and Peirce's Park into the famous public garden that is there today.

Previously, we shared other Longwood Cats on this blog, including Mulligan, Belin, and Spooky.  

I met Percy when I visited Longwood last month and was sitting on a bench near the idea garden. Percy gave my leg a little head bump as he passed, but otherwise kept to himself and seemed more interested in rustling noises coming from the foliage in nearby beds than the humans who approached and wanted to pet him.
