The Delaware Center for Horticulture inspires individuals and communities through the power of plants. Since 1977, we have cultivated a greener community by creating and maintaining the first Urban Farm in the city of Wilmington, beautifying public landscapes, planting and advising on the placement of urban trees, mobilizing volunteers, and hosting community events and educational programs, including our Branches to Chances® Return to Work program and our Neighborhood Tree Steward Program. Because much of our work occurs in low income neighborhoods with higher rates of disease, environmental contamination, and poor access to healthy foods, our educational efforts also emphasize the personal health and sustainability benefits of gardening.
An AMAZING event space! I hosted a bridal/wedding photo shoot on the premises and not only was the staff kind, patient and friendly, but they really worked with me to create what I was envisioning. It was clean, air conditioned, and just overall very pretty and lowkey, which is exactly what I needed. Thank you for everything!

Excellent venue for a private party. Large outdoor space, good-sized indoor space, as well as walkable gardens.
