Founded in 2014 by former school teachers Cheryl Rehrig and Denise Hoeksema, the Inland Bays Garden Center is rooted in the mission of “Gardening to Make a Difference.” Our goal is to inspire a deeper connection to gardening by offering native and beneficial plants, sharing knowledge through education, and giving back to our community. We are committed to protecting the Inland Bays and other watersheds, providing our customers with meaningful ways to experience the joys and environmental impact of gardening.
As Delaware’s go-to destination for native plants, we offer the most extensive collection in the state. Our inventory includes trees, shrubs, perennials, ornamental grasses, succulents, tropicals, vegetables, herbs, and annuals, all carefully curated to ensure top-notch quality. Whether you’re looking for pollinator-friendly, deer-resistant, drought-tolerant, or rain garden plants, our knowledgeable staff is here to help you make the right choice.
Beyond plants, we provide containers, tools, potting soil mixes, soil amendments, pest control solutions, and garden décor to meet all your gardening needs.
We’re here to help you create beautiful, lasting gardens with expert guidance and designs tailored to the Delmarva region. Whether you’re starting fresh or improving your space, our experienced team is ready to assist with all your gardening needs.
Let’s grow a greener future together! We offer advice on native plant care, soil testing, and eco-friendly practices to help your garden thrive while supporting the environment.
