With the completion of an observation deck overlooking Pepper Creek, a shoreline stabilization project at Delaware Botanic Gardens has been finalized.
Staff from Delaware Botanic Gardens and the Center for the Inland Bays began working on the project in the spring. Volunteers also played an important part in completing the project, which was done in early November.
The Delaware Botanic Gardens is a 37-acre plot of land that sits northeast of Dagsboro on Pepper Creek.
