The Delaware Botanic Gardens (DBG) has always been committed to fostering lifelong learning and connecting people with nature through meaningful programs and events. This year, we’re excited to introduce a new way for our community to engage and learn with DBG!

As part of our Do More 24 Delaware campaign, we are raising funds to outfit our brand-new Grand Hall, The Pennoni Pavilion, with the necessary furnishings to host a wide range of events, from seminars and guest lectures to weddings and community meetings. Your generous donation will help us create a functional and welcoming space where we can continue our mission of education and engagement for years to come.

The opening of The Pennoni Pavilion in Summer 2025 marks an exciting time for DBG, as we look forward to inviting guest speakers, holding local functions, and offering educational opportunities that will further our goal of promoting sustainability and environmental stewardship.
Your support can help make this vision a reality!
