Founded in 1935, Mt. Cuba Center is a beautiful botanical garden and historical preserve located in the gentle rolling hills of the Delaware Piedmont.
Established to inspire and educate visitors about the beauty and value of native plants of the region. The gardens feature pastures, fields, forests and woodlands, and are home to some of the most spectacular displays of wildflowers in the mid-Atlantic region. Mt. Cuba Center’s breathtaking display gardens are spread over 50 acres, with an impressive plant collection of eastern North American flora, focusing on the Appalachian Piedmont.
The gardens encompass a broad range of landscapes and display gardens, ranging from the more formal gardens of Lila Alleé and the South Terrace to the natural terrain of the Dogwood Path, Pond Garden, Rock Wall, and Woods Path. The gardens are open from April through November.
