Keep an eye out for butterflies, bees, and all sorts of birds. These pollinators enjoy this thoughtfully planted botanic garden as much as you do!

You can learn a lot about planting your own pollinator garden by asking the experts at Mt. Cuba. Learn about phlox, coneflower, and others that will attract these helpful critters to your yard.

You could easily spend all day wandering the trails and garden paths, but the centerpiece of the estate has to be the pond. Take some time to look around the edges, and you'll spot frogs and other critters enjoying their own private pool.

The Mt. Cuba Wildflower Celebration serves as the festival that welcomes spring to the First State, and nature lovers will enjoy spending the day outdoors amongst thousands of beautiful native wildflowers.
