The Mt. Cuba Center mission is to inspire an appreciation for the beauty and value of native plants and a commitment to support the habitats that sustain them.
Gardening Tips from Doug Tallamy
- Add more native plants, especially woody, structural plants which support a much higher level of biodiversity.
- Manage watersheds - plants which absorb heavy rain and reduce storm water runoff
- Willow Trees support 455 butterfly and moth species. Including Mourning Cloak, Red-spotted Purple, and Viceroy.
- Goldenrod support 115 species. 125 Goldenrod species occur throughout the US. Goldenrod is used by many insects and spiders and birds who feed on the seeds and insects.
