Instructors: Ellen Lake, PhD

This course bridges the gap between caterpillar ecology and backyard conservation. Dr. Ellen Lake will guide you through fascinating aspects of caterpillar biology and discuss the critical ecosystem services caterpillars provide. You will learn about keystone host plants and best practices for managing a "moth-friendly" landscape. Transition from the classroom to the field with a guided walk through the gardens, where you’ll join Ellen in scouting for caterpillars in their natural habitats. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned naturalist, you’ll learn how to search for caterpillars, the tools to identify them, and the knowledge to protect and promote them through every stage of their life cycle. Online-only attendance is also available for this class, click here to learn more and to register.

Because this program takes place on-site while the garden is open to the public, general admission to the gardens is included in the price.

Instructors: Max Ferlauto

Every fall, homeowners face the same question: rake, mulch, or leave the leaves? Join Dr. Max Ferlauto, State Entomologist for the Maryland Natural Heritage Program, for an eye-opening exploration around research on how leaf litter affects residential landscapes. Learn what the data reveals about the insects, spiders, and soil life that depend on leaf cover—and how common cleanup habits can unintentionally disrupt them. You’ll also discover how removing leaves changes soil temperature, moisture, and organic matter, influencing the long-term health of your yard. Gardeners of every level will enjoy a lively lecture and guided garden tour, while gaining practical, neighborhood-friendly strategies to support biodiversity, improve soil, and maintain an attractive landscape—even if leaving every leaf isn’t an option. You will leave the class with actionable strategies such as adjusting mowing and cleanup routines to choosing plants that strengthen local ecosystems, that make your yard more vibrant, resilient, and alive.

Because this program takes place on-site while the garden is open to the public, general admission to the gardens is included in the price.

Instructors: Rodney Dever

The pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is more than just a tree; it’s a living link to our continent’s past. While it produces the largest native edible fruit in the country, it remains a hidden gem to many. As we mark the Semiquincentennial, join us at Mt. Cuba Center for an immersive look at this resilient native species.

As interest in this historic fruit continues to grow among gardeners and food enthusiasts alike, now is the perfect time to experience it for yourself. Join Rodney Dever of Peterson Pawpaws for an engaging exploration of the pawpaw’s history, folklore, and its rise in popularity from the time of the Founding Fathers to today. Rodney will guide you through the transition of the pawpaw from a forest forage staple to a prized orchard variety. Whether you are a gardener looking for the best cultivars or a food enthusiast eager to try something new, this experience offers a rare opportunity to learn the lore and savor the creamy, custard-like flavor of the fruit that has captivated Americans for over 250 years.

You will learn about the best varieties for flavor and fruiting and discover the many ways this versatile fruit can be enjoyed. Surrounded by the beauty of Mt. Cuba’s gardens, you will not only learn about the tree’s storied past but also savor the legendary flavor of the pawpaw for yourself.

Because this program takes place on-site while the garden is open to the public, general admission to the gardens is included in the price.
