Delaware Botanic Gardens
From Dream to Reality
Annual Report 2019
“In an unlikely place, a soybean field became a
botanic garden. It’s naturalistic, it’s dynamic, and
it gets more interesting with each passing month
of the season. For its maker, it allows countless
permutations of plant combos. For the viewer,
no matter how seasoned, it provides the thrill of
discovering new varieties.
Creating so much from nothing gets to
the essence and power of garden making.
This is why we do it, to create a paradise
out of thin air. Dream a space, make it
real, and let it speak to us.”
—Adrian Higgins, The Washington Post, September 23, 2019
