Delaware Botanic Gardens held Frolic in the Folly, its first fundraiser of 2023, April 9 in Dagsboro.
Carol McCloud, volunteer vice president and board member, sponsored the folly garden. She said it is near and dear to her heart as she has dedicated the folly in memory of her late husband, John.
Guests at the event were all smiles, enjoying a pleasant spring evening with friends snd supporters of the gardens. There was live music by 5th Avenue, a variety of refreshments, artists painting at easels, and beauty all around. A planter demonstration was held by the designer and caretaker of the folly, Jan Poli. The planter caught onlookers’ eyes and was part of an auction toward the end of the event.
A folly garden is meant to be joyful and whimsical. It’s a place to simply wander and enjoy.
