Mt. Cuba Center is a renowned botanic garden that highlights the beauty and value of native plants to inspire conservation. Once the private estate of Pamela and Lammot du Pont Copeland, Mt. Cuba opened to the public in 2013 and now spans 68 acres of gardens and over 1,000 acres of natural lands. Featuring formal and naturalistic gardens and three miles of scenic trails, Mt. Cuba’s stunning landscapes demonstrate how native plants can enrich our environment. Mt. Cuba is recognized as a leader in native plant research, education, and open space preservation, having protected 15,000 acres in the mid-Atlantic region. The gardens are open Tuesday-Sunday April through June, and Wednesday-Sunday July through November, with lively events throughout the year. Gardening, art, and conservation classes are offered year-round in person and online.
