Though the early spring has moved into early summer, there is still a lot to see in our gardens. Classes and tours, critters from your back door - all make an appearance in June at Mt. Cuba Center.
Critters come to visit on Saturday, June 16 (10AM-Noon) during Jack Hubley's Wild Neighbors ($20) show. See live mammals, birds of prey and snakes, most of which can be found in your backyard at one time or another. Jack Hubley has been a multi-media advocate for the natural world for more than 25 years. He hosts "Wild Moments" on WGAL-TV in Lancaster, PA. Take a hike along a former bridle trail when you Walk the Natural Lands of Mt. Cuba Center on June 21(5:30-7:30PM, $10.) See some areas that only our native critters usually visit. Or take a close look at Native Plants for Native Pollinators and observe some of our best native plants for attracting native pollinators. It's Saturday, June 30, from 10AM to 12:30 PM and the $35 fee includes lunch and an insect-attracting plant.
Our Summer Twilight Tours offer a different light on the gardens. The sun in the western sky softens the view of our ponds and babbling brook. Relax and refresh as you enjoy the lilies, azaleas and coneflowers. Sign up for Wednesday or Thursday evenings at 5:30. Tours are just $5.
For more information on critters and classes, visit www.mtcubacenter.org or call 302-239-4244. As always, whether it's onsite or online, I look forward to sharing the beauty of Mt. Cuba Center with you.
Sincerely,
Eileen Boyle
