The Delaware Botanic Gardens recently hosted a Frolic in the Folly, and while the weather was a little windy, the sun was out, which brought to life the plants in bloom and set the stage for what the rest of the gardens will look like in coming months.
In addition to being a time for people to see what’s blooming, the April 16 frolic allowed supporters to see the most recent version of the Meadow Pavilion, which will serve as a large indoor gathering and classroom space.
Sheryl Swed, DBG executive director, said she was excited about the future project and its possibilities. It will house offices and be able to accommodate 300 people when it’s done, she said.
