Join Us for the Garden Party in the Pavilion

Whether you’re a longtime supporter or new to the Delaware Botanic Gardens, we warmly invite you to attend our Garden Party in the Pavilion—a special event celebrating our progress and our vision for the future. This gathering also plays a vital role in advancing our mission through fundraising.

This year, DBG is aiming to raise $50,000 in donations, in addition to sponsorship contributions. If we meet this goal, Ron Bass & George Robbins and Denise Kaczmarczyk have generously pledged to match the full amount—bringing our total to $100,000. But here’s the key: the match will only be activated if we raise the full $50,000.

If you’re unable to attend the event, or if sponsorship isn’t an option, we encourage you to contribute toward the $50,000 Challenge Match. Every donation helps us get closer—and unlocks the full potential of this transformative gift.

By supporting DBG, you help us continue to inspire through beauty and engage through education. Your commitment is essential, and we are deeply grateful for your generosity.
