Sussex Gardners plant at Rehoboth museum

Sussex Gardners are set to landscape the entrance to the Rehoboth Beach Museum.

The Lewes-based organization will install pollinator gardens at the circle on the left corner of the Rehoboth Avenue museum. Museum director Nancy Alexander said the museum is waiting for the city, which owns the building, to take out the plantings that are there now. Sussex Gardners will then lay down new top soil, said Janice Friend of Sussex Gardners. She said the ground will then lie dormant to allow winter to work its magic with freezing and thawing cycles before the plants are installed in spring of 2017.

The 50-member Sussex Gardners have been in existence since 1937, Friend said, and have landscaped the Zwaanendael Museum and DeVries Monument in Lewes, the Lewes Senior Center and other projects. RYAN MAVITY PHOTO
