Free wildflower celebration this weekend
This Sunday -- come rain or shine -- Mt. Cuba Center will hold its 6th annual Wildflower Celebration from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
New this year, children can follow a path of activities marked by naturalistic tables crafted from trees that once lived on the Mt. Cuba Center property.
Visitors may also take the "Wildflower Challenge" -- match the wildflower to its name and win a 2-for-1 tour admission coupon. The popular learning stations this year include: Forest Succession, Tree Care and Pruning, Blueberries, Cutting Propagation, Meadow Plants and Birds, Garden Journaling, Dyeing Fibers with Native Plants, Drought-Tolerant Plants, Hummingbirds and more. The first 500 families will receive a free potted wildflower.
Also, Mt. Cuba Center will preview its latest multimedia technology efforts. Visitors will see clips of classes, gardening techniques and time-lapse video, and learn how these and other resources will become part of a distance learning program now in development.
Mt. Cuba Center is located at 3120 Barley Mill Road, near Hockessin. Free parking will be available at the Red Clay Reservation on Old Wilmington Road. No tickets are needed.
