This is a very beautiful garden area not far from the beaches in Wilmington. There are little water ponds, I believe they have coyfish as well. The plants in bloom vary depending on what season it is, so there is usually always something to see no matter when you go. The place is not to massive in size, so for those looking for quick, short walks, or places to take pretty pictures in an area without having to go very far, this is a place for you. Tickets were very affordable as well.

If they're coastal redwoods, they like high humidity and time.

Is it expensive to have a wedding ceremony there?

Eleanor Schroers | Oct 29, 2018
R Dixon | Oct 29, 2018

There is no building large enough to hold a wedding so the event will be held outdoors. Logically it should be no cost. OTOH, I would contact JMU about this - especially if you require a backup venue.
