Celebrate National Public Garden Day with Mt. Cuba’s Garden Advisor, Vic Piatt as he narrates the history of how the Copeland’s passion for place and plants inspired their home and gardens situated upon the rolling hills of the Delaware Piedmont. With the purpose of conservation and education, the Copelands would establish Mt. Cuba Center, that upon their passing would become a public garden dedicated to inspiring an appreciation for the beauty and value of our native flora and the habitats that sustain them. This program takes place in person at Mt. Cuba Center on Friday, May 10, 2024.
