Delaware Botanic Gardens gates closed for season

December 9, 2019

The Delaware Botanic Gardens ended its first public open season Nov. 30, closing the garden gates with an informal celebration attended by guests, board members, garden members, volunteers and other supporters.

Ray Sander, president of Delaware Botanic Gardens, said, “This short three month 2019 season was the culmination of more than eight years of heroic effort by the entire network that we have built around DBG - scores of dedicated volunteers, creative business partners, generous foundations, supportive elected officials and engaged media. There is much more to come in 2020.”

Sheryl Swed, executive director, said, “We thank all our guests and volunteer garden family for a great grand opening. We want all our supporters and guests to know that we will open our 2020 season March 17 highlighting the Folly Garden with over 30,000 bulbs. We want to thank over 1,400 guests and over 190 new members who have joined since we opened this past September.”
