Marian Coffin Gardens at Gibraltar

1405 Greenhill Ave, Wilmington, DE 19806

Tucked away in the hills of Wilmington, Marian Coffin Gardens at Gibraltar is one of Delaware’s most romantic and historic photo locations. Designed in 1916 by pioneering landscape architect Marian Cruger Coffin, the gardens blend English garden elegance with Beaux-Arts structure, creating a setting that’s both timeless and richly textured.

Stone staircases, arched pergolas, formal hedges, and seasonal blooms create striking visual layers perfect for engagement sessions or wedding portraits. Whether you’re wandering through terraced pathways or standing beneath the garden’s classical columns, every corner of this six-acre property feels cinematic and serene.

Restored and preserved by community effort, the gardens now stand as a living tribute to Coffin’s groundbreaking career and artistic legacy. For couples looking for a private, meaningful, and visually stunning backdrop, Marian Coffin Gardens offers a deeply personal setting to tell your love story.
