The Delaware Botanic Gardens started a week-long grand opening celebration with a memorable dinner party Sept. 12.
Just as the night’s festivities were about to begin – outdoors – a strong storm system rolled through and drenched everything. The rain brought everyone in under the tent, but it didn’t dampen the mood.
