Botanic Gardens celebrate new facility with ribbon-cutting

As Raymond Sander, president of the Delaware Botanic Gardens, snipped a blue-, green-and-white ribbon, marking the official opening of new, 800-square-foot rustic cedar restroom building, complete with a 1,000-gallon rain barrel, cheers went up from those gathered to mark the occasion, with upbeat comments from several speakers.

“We don’t mind rain in a garden, right?” Sander, in a wide-brimmed hat and jacket to protect against the damp, joked.
