The '''University of Delaware Botanic Gardens''' are [[botanical garden]]s and an [[arboretum]] located on the campus of the [[University of Delaware]], in [[Newark, Delaware]], [[United States]]. The gardens are open to the public without charge.


The original garden in front of Townsend Hall was established with a donation from Emily Clark Diffenback in the mid-1960s, and has been named Clark Garden in her honor. It has since been designated a test arboretum by the [[American Holly Society]]. Other gardens include a [[Magnolia Society]] test garden south of Townsend Hall; native and non-native plants north of Worrilow Hall; a wildflower area in front of the Fischer Greenhouse Laboratory; a herbaceous perennial garden behind another greenhouse; and stretches of native trees and shrubs lining the driveway and grounds.
