DCH is the only nonprofit membership organization in Delaware that mobilizes and inspires community greening statewide in urban and suburban environments. By inspiring an appreciation for improving our environment through horticulture, education, and conservation, we have become a leader in improving and beautifying communities by harnessing the power of our members, volunteers, and staff to go out and make a difference. Our members come from Delaware and the surrounding region and bring with them a passion for plants only matched by that of our staff members. With more than 600 active and dedicated volunteers annually, we have a tremendous amount of community support, which allows us to accomplish the impossible.
Thank you to everyone who visited our Winter Wonderland Weekend! Our offices will be closed today to allow our staff to reset our facilities for Tuesday, when we will reopen to the public.
Visit the Delaware Center for Horticulture on December 1st and December 2nd for some holiday cheer. During our winter events, you can view and purchase artwork from artloopwilm, stock up on locally sourced holiday greenery, visit our Holiday Bazaar, and Santa will be visiting for photos on Saturday!

We`ve been awarded as one of Bank of America`s 2023 #NeighborhoodBuilders and we couldn`t be more thrilled! This award and all its benefits will help us continue to support our community as we expand the Branches to Chances® workforce training and placement program, allowing graduates to continue their training and employment with the Delaware River Climate Corps. It will also support our community forestry program outreach and engagement efforts while providing employee benefits to trainees to ensure their well-being. Our leaders will also receive training on how to continue to serve everyone. #Delaware #Wilmington

It`s Giving Tuesday! Today, we launch our Annual Fund and invite you to join us in making a difference.
At the Delaware Center for Horticulture, we know it`s never too soon to plant the seeds for a better future. When second graders from a local elementary school visited DCH on a field trip, our staff overheard their excitement.
“I love nature!”
“This is better than the arcade!”
“This is the best place ever!”
Your support will enable us to teach children about sustainability and their connection to the environment, while fostering their appreciation for the world around them. Please join us in helping to create lasting memories for children and teens and inspire them to a lifetime of caring for our planet.
Help us build a brighter future and donate today. #GivingTuesday

Happy Thanksgiving! Celebrate the holiday with us by taking a stroll through our garden! Even though our offices are closed Thursday and Friday, our garden is open to you! Come get some fresh air and enjoy the beauty of nature! #Thanksgiving #Nature #Wilmington #Delaware
When you visit, take a look at this durable groundcover right by our front gate. Creeping Plumbago or Ceratostigma plumaginoides is a non-native groundcover found happiest in shady or part-sun conditions. Once established, it will thrive without much need for care. It offers burgundy-red color offset by striking blue flowers in fall.
We`re very excited to share that we have a tree to celebrate the festive season! This Fraser fir was generously given by Nemours Estate as part of their greenery donation. Each season, Nemours has allowed our team to collect greenery to support our annual sale and winter workshops, and this year we have a lovely tree we`ll be decorating with a fun surprise. Stay tuned to see!
Thank you! nemoursestate
Brrrr can you believe we still have blooms at DCH? We love the Sheffield Pink Mum, Chrysanthemum ‘Sheffield Pink`, that lines our walkways. This plant is a beautiful fall flowering perennial. Showing up in time to complement the fall color in the landscape, it needs little attention to thrive. Place it where it can scamper, since it will spread its lovely blooms wherever space is available. Though not a native species, it still provides an important nectar source late in the season.

We wrapped up our tree planting season! Incyte volunteers joined us for two tree plantings, one at Rogers Manor Park and the other at Swanwyck Park, to add tree diversity for local wildlife and provide shade for community members to enjoy. From digging holes to mulching each freshly planted tree, it was a rewarding experience to get out and give back to our local parks. We want to thank all of our volunteers for their hard work and dedication!
Exciting news: Giving Tuesday is only two weeks away! Join us as we launch our Annual Appeal for 2024 and help create a brighter future for everyone. Save the date (the Tuesday after Thanksgiving) and let`s come together to make a difference. #GivingTuesday #MakingADifference

I missed the greenery sale yesterday unfortunately - will there be any other opportunities to buy greenery from DCH this month?
