Beautiful planned and botanic gardens are one of the hallmarks of New Castle County in Northern Delaware. The DuPont family had quite an interest in botany, and you can enjoy the fruits of their labor at Winterthur, Nemours, Mt. Cuba, and Hagley. However, not many people know about a newer botanic garden in Delaware, tucked away in the small town of Dagsboro.

The Delaware Botanic Gardens at Pepper Creek is the latest whimsical garden worth exploring - and this one is located way down in Dagsboro.
