The Delaware Center for Horticulture (DCH) is a Wilmington, Delaware-based nonprofit organization founded in 1977 that focuses on promoting urban greening and environmental stewardship through the power of plants. Its work centers on education and community outreach, offering programs that range from youth gardening and vocational training to tours, workshops, and lectures, all designed to cultivate appreciation for horticulture and sustainable landscape practices. Through community forestry and urban agriculture initiatives, DCH has planted and cared for thousands of trees and supported dozens of community gardens and urban farming projects, contributing to improved green spaces and environmental resilience across the state. The organization operates a public-facing facility in Trolley Square that features a garden and gallery, and it hosts events that connect gardening with broader cultural and sustainability themes. In recent updates, the organization has announced leadership appointments, reflecting ongoing governance and program development in its mission to engage individuals and communities.
