News From Mt. Cuba

Our new Spring Continuing Education Brochure is out! This year our program theme is "Discover Nature's Landscapes in your Own Backyard." We are acutely aware that the difficult economy is affecting everyone and have responded with our own "economic stimulus plan." The cost of classes has been reduced in an effort to help your dollars go farther; in addition, many of our classes provide seeds and plants as a "take home" benefit.

Jump into Spring with our March courses. On Friday March 27th at 10:00 am, our Moss Gardening Workshop will demonstrate hands-on techniques for using moss in naturalistic gardening. Learn to groom, transplant and identify several common mosses. Take home a wisk broom for grooming and a pot of moss with Quaker ladies. Dress for the outdoors.

Derek Stoner will lead a class in search of the Wonders of Wood Ducks on Sunday March 29 at 1:00 pm. Learn about wood ducks and where to install their nest boxes. You'll view the wood duck boxes at Mt. Cuba Center so dress to go outside.

To register or to find out more about these courses, go online to www.mtcubacenter.org or call 302.239.4244. Space is limited so register early.
