Sea Witch and Scare Crows at DBG

Ray Sander, President of the Delaware Botanic Gardens (DBG), announced that DBG would participate in this year’s Rehoboth Beach Chamber of Commerce Sea Witch Festival by creating a unique 9-foot Sea Witch and new Scarecrow Trail at the gardens in Dagsboro. Sander said, “Our wonderful volunteers wanted to celebrate the end of the harvest season and invite the community on October 29, 30, and 31 to see our interpretation of the Sea Witch and to enjoy a special Scarecrow Trail. In addition, our guests will judge and vote on which of nine scarecrows is the ‘Best’ DBG Scarecrow.” Sheryl Swed, DBG Executive Director, said, “We invite families to enjoy DBG’s gardens decorated for the fall season. The plants and trees are beginning to show their fall colors.” Stephen Pryce Lea, DBG Director of Horticulture, said, “Our volunteers and staff have worked hard to enhance our gardens with new seasonal adventures. Costumes are welcome. The gardens will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday, October 29, and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, October 30, and Sunday, October 31. Please join us for a joyful fall harvest celebration time.”
