Crisp fall greetings from Mt. Cuba Center! A Fall Harvest of Color perfectly describes the gardens changing from summer's green to fall's array of red, orange and yellow. It also describes our fall tour - still $5 and still a great way to spend a morning or afternoon with a gathering of friends.
Here's a quick overview of what's coming up this month - click on each class to learn more:
Meadow Studies (Saturday, October 8, 10:30AM-12:30PM, $10) with Dave Korbonits. Take home an 'October Sky' aromatic aster too.

Planting for Native Bees (Saturday, October 29, 10AM-1PM, $35, including lunch). Sam Droege, wildlife biologist, discusses how to choose plants that attract native Delaware bee species, and you'll take home one of those plants to get started.

Sincerely,
Eileen Boyle
