It’s with mixed emotions that we announce the closing of Hooked On Plants Garden Center. It’s been an incredible journey, however, after sincere thought and consideration, we’ve decided that it’s time to close this chapter.
To each and every person who supported us, whether with a purchase, by interacting with us online, by attending our events, or simply by taking your time to walk around the garden center, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You’ve made this place something truly special, and we’ll forever be grateful for your support over the years.
While we're sad to be saying goodbye, we're excited about what's next. This spring, the garden center will close its doors to make way for an entirely new venture, Heritage: A Native Plant Nursery, set to open in Spring 2026.
From Heritage owner Clark DeLong, “Heritage will be a garden center unlike any other. We will offer a carefully curated selection of native trees, shrubs and perennials for lower Delaware. Impeccable displays of native species at unheard of prices combined with classes and education programs that will help you create beautiful gardens while protecting our region's natural heritage. There will be much more to come and we are excited to bring this new business to beautiful Sussex County DE!”
We will always cherish the memories, relationships, and experiences we have gained throughout the years. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our journey.
