The Delightful Diversity of the Heath Family - what a delightful way to start your June garden education! From azaleas to blueberries, the heath family (Ericaceae) has a broad appeal. Join our director, Rick Lewandowski, for talking and walking, Wednesday, June 8, 1-3 PM, $20, and take home a plant from the heath family.
The following Wednesday, June 15, learn about ferns with Marcie Weigelt, the Pond Garden horticulturist, as she leads the Fern Walk, (10-11:30 AM, $20.) Wear comfortable shoes and enjoy these feathery delights.
As always, the beauty of Mt. Cuba Center can inspire the inner artist in you. For two Saturdays in June, enjoy Painting by the Pond in Summer, led by Sarah Yeoman, watercolor artist and teacher (June 11 & 18, 9:30 AM-4:00 PM, $60). All media are welcome. Check the full class description on our website.
The Native Orchid Conference at Mt. Cuba Center will be held on July 30, 31, August 1, and 2. This is the first time this conference has been held in Delaware - join your fellow orchid lovers in sharing knowledge of and interest in these elegant beauties.
Summer twilight tours continue until the end of July - consider getting together a group of friends after work - relax and refresh in the cool of late afternoon.
As always, you can register for classes and tours at www.mtcubacenter.org, or by calling 302-239-4244. Finally, help spread the word - forward this message to a friend!
I look forward to sharing the beauty of Mt. Cuba Center with everyone.
Sincerely,
Eileen Boyle
