Really enjoyed a visit to this up and coming garden. The meadow is beautiful and unique especially for native plant enthusiasts. The staff are wonderfully friendly and helpful. The buildings and facilities are modern and inspiring. The woodland path is charming and very kid friendly. Looks like a lot of new trees are being added. Looking forward to returning in a few years to see how it coming along. Bring bug spray and a picnic lunch & enjoy nature.

Gardens with a scavenger hunt! I found the toad, the lizard, the sea serpent, the wizard, the snail, the turtle, Medusa, the spider, the octopus, the heron, the fiddler crab, the troll, and an unexpected slithery surprise. 🐍 Loved the creatures made solely from the woods, and over time, they've created their own ecosystems! They also have a meadow designed by the acclaimed Piet Oudolf, which is lovely. Bumbles and butterflies abound! Fee was only $15.00! It is fairly small in comparison to other gardens I've been to, but they have done a lot with their space.

With new developments and out of state people coming to delaware, there are a few blessings coming with them. This Gem of a place is one of them. I'm so grateful and love how much thought went into everything here! The statues are so much fun to look for while walking the paths, the pathways themselves are so pretty, and the logs as the guides keep you immersed in the woods. This place is amazing and worth every penny. I hope the new expansion brings more business their way!
