Gibraltar Garden Tour
Saturday, October 4th 1:30 pm

Experience the restored Gibraltar Garden in Wilmington, designed by renowned landscape architect Marian Cruger Coffin (1876–1957), one of the first female landscape architects in the U.S. Gibraltar showcases a blend of formal and informal styles with lush plantings, tranquil paths, and picturesque vistas.

Visitors will explore diverse garden rooms and learn from the garden manager about the challenges and successes of recent restoration efforts.

Meet at the Gild Hall parking lot at 1 pm to carpool, or meet us there (1405 Greenhill Ave, Wilmington, DE 19806). Admission is free; donations to Preservation Delaware for garden maintenance are appreciated.

RSVP to acgardenersgild@gmail.com and let us know if you’re
carpooling or meeting at the gardens.

Special thanks to all who donated plants to the Arden Fair Gardeners Gild Plant Booth! And Super Special Thanks to all the volunteers who made the Plant Booth a huge success - what a day!
