Free On-line Course from Mt. Cuba

Mt. Cuba Center is proud to announce the launch of our new distance learning program called Mt. Cuba Center Connect. As a valued member of the Mt. Cuba Center visitor community, we invite you to preview our first class, "The Ferns at Mt. Cuba Center" at no charge. All we ask is that you provide us with feedback on this innovative, on-demand look at ferns by filling out the short survey at the end of the course. This offer is good through November 14, 2011 so don't delay!


In the course, you will learn about fern landscape uses, companion plants, culture, biology, spore propagation and 26 native fern fact sheets and video guides. These topics are presented through a media rich, self- paced learning experience. Delve into an in-depth discovery of the charming world of ferns, accessible from your own home or office, at any time. Print out handouts for later and study your ferns!

To register, go to elearning.mtcubacenter.org and follow the directions on the right side of the screen to create your own account. Once logged in, select "Ferns at Mt. Cuba Center." Enter the enrollment key ferntastic when prompted. For information on new distance learning courses coming in December, January and February visit: www.mtcubacenter.org/education/distance-learning.
