Spring at Mt. Cuba Center

Spring has sprung at Mt. Cuba Center! Get out into the garden and study Early Spring Wildflowers as they emerge over three weeks on Tuesdays, April 14, 21, and 28. Each class begins at 1PM and you'll get a spring wildflower to take home. Cost is just $10 per session. Please register in advance.

Orchids are in the spotlight all year. Our series, In Praise of Native Orchids, begins on Saturday, April 18. Learn about orchids you can grow in your own backyard! $15. Trilliums are among the highlights of the spring wildflower season at Mt. Cuba Center.

Take a close look with a class taught by Mt. Cuba's own expert Jeanne Frett, Trilliums: Quintessential Spring Wildflowers, on Thursday April 23. Jeanne's class is just $15. Or take a two hour guided garden tour to experience Trilliums and their Companions on scheduled days from April 16 to May 3. There isn't a better buy - the tour is only $5. Don't miss out as our lovely spring ephemerals are here today and gone tomorrow.

SAVE THE DATE! Mt. Cuba's 5th Annual Wildflower Celebration is Sunday, April 26 from 10AM to 4PM!

To register or to find out more about these events, go online to www.mtcubacenter.org or call 302.239.4244. Space is limited so register early.
Hope to see you in April!
