Favorite plants that make a real show in your garden - Asteraceae, (Saturday, September 15, 10AM, $20) and Heuchera and Coreopsis (Saturday, September 29, 10AM, $10) are in the spotlight this month. In both classes, you'll learn the characteristics of the plants and get one to try at home. Both classes will be outside so dress for the weather.
Art and garden lovers - this is your month! Our Garden Sketch Club sessions begin this Saturday, September 15 (10AM and 1PM, $10 per session), and continue each Saturday through October 6. Attend one session or all eight. If you like creating a take-home project, try one of the Leaf Impression Jewelry classes on Wednesday, September 19 (10AM or 1:30PM, $40.) Learn the process of designing and planting your own native plant container garden in Healthy Habitats - Contained! on Wednesday, September 26 (1PM, $35).
Public garden tours are back, starting this Thursday, September 13. "The Vibrancy of Fall" highlights the early colors of the season and how the garden and its inhabitants prepare for the winter ahead. Tours are still $5 and reservations are strongly recommended. For a whole new way to see the garden at your own pace, come to Mt. Cuba Center on one of our Visitor Days (September 28 and 29th, 10 AM - 4 PM). Wander at your own pace and enjoy learning stations for all ages to enhance your visit. No reservations are required - tickets may be purchased at the door.
