Enjoy an informative overview of our efforts to protect and conserve this iconic genus and their culture and care as garden plants. A tour of our woodland gardens to see these jewels of the forest floor completes the day.

Skunk cabbage, bloodroot, and trout lilies are among the first signs of spring and warmer weather ahead. Spring ephemerals and wildflowers must complete part of their life cycles before the tree canopy leafs out, reducing light levels at the forest floor. These plants face many challenges including unpredictable weather and pollinator availability. Spring wildflowers have special adaptations to overcome these challenges and intricate relationships with pollinators and seed dispersers. Learn more about these wildflowers, their life histories, and plant-insect interactions, and look for them during a guided walk in the gardens.

Instructors: Bill Cullina

Almost every landscape in the Eastern US contains at least a few rhododendrons, laurels, or azaleas. Acidic, forested soils and moderate, moist climate make much of the Eastern US perfect for many, many members of the heath family (Ericaceae), and we have one of the most diverse assemblages of species anywhere in North America. In this in-depth talk, Bill Cullina will showcase the eastern species from Arctostaphylos to Zenobia, detailing their ecology, form, cultivation, and landscape uses.

Instructors: Susannah Lerman

The primary threat to biodiversity is habitat loss and degradation, but gardeners can help make a difference by choices they make in their own yards. Yards represent a conservation opportunity to provide wildlife habitat, support biodiversity, restore ecosystem function and ecosystem services, and increase local opportunities for people to connect with nature. Dr. Lerman will highlight studies like the “Bee Lawn” program that have direct applications for gardeners to enhance wildlife habitat in their yards, and describe opportunities, challenges, and strategies for yard stewardship to foster beautiful and beneficial residential landscapes for wildlife and people.

Learn about the important identifying features of our local fungi and discover some of the crucial roles they play in our ecosystems. Discuss what you can do to preserve fungal diversity in your area through community science and land stewardship. The lecture and discussion will be followed by a guided exploration of Mt. Cuba’s natural areas. Scout and learn about the fungal diversity in the area. Be prepared for a lengthy hike through hilly (sometimes steep) and uneven terrain. Dress for the weather and bring a water bottle.

These little flying mammals are great hunters of insects, eating more than 600 mosquitoes per hour! Learn about the eight species of bats native to Delaware, where they live, and how to include suitable shelters and landscape elements for bats in your yard. Then walk Mt. Cuba’s property to scout locations where bats are likely to roost and use a small acoustic monitor to listen for bats as well as see them.

Hummingbirds are perhaps the most amazing flying machines on earth. There are about 340 species, and they occur only in the Americas. The combination of incredible powers of flight, often outrageously showy plumage, and fantastic nectar-seeking habits make hummers true marvels of nature. This program will mostly focus on the only breeding hummingbird in eastern North America: the ruby-throated hummingbird. Feathered dynamos, ruby-throats are a joy to observe, and live far more complex lives than most observers realize.

Instructors: Michael Moore, PhD

Dragonflies have been around for 300 million years, with several extinct species having wingspans of over two feet. Inhabiting sites around lakes, ponds, streams, and wetlands, they are excellent predators, eating mosquitoes and other small insects. Michael Moore presents a detailed examination of the habitats that support dragonflies, as well as their lifecycles, foraging behaviors, and reproductive strategies. Tour our ponds and see how these aerial acrobats fit into our ecosystems and how you can create a place in your garden for them.
