Located in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, the Topiary Garden is a meticulously maintained park featuring over 35 specimens of highly cultivated yews. From playful bunnies to fanciful spirals, the garden is a delight for visitors of all ages. The shrubs have been groomed into various shapes such as pyramids, screws, a chair and table, and even a rabbit. The garden's historical significance dates back to ancient times, with topiary designs depicted on the walls of tombs in Egypt and ars topiara conveying social status in Rome.

The garden has evolved over the years, with renovations and reshaping in the 1980s to maintain its precision and beauty.
