Join Sam Hoadley, the Manager of Horticultural Research at Mt. Cuba Center, as he highlights knockout native species and cultivars from their trials. Top performers and favorites of Monarda, Phlox, Helenium, Echinacea, wild hydrangea, Carex, and Vernonia represent some of the best native plants for the mid-Atlantic region and beyond. Sam will discuss their horticultural and ecological performance and will share important information on standouts that will make beautiful additions to your garden.

 

Parking info for the church: We encourage you to carpool to the church for Mr. Hoadley’s presentation. There is metered on-street parking on College, Court, and Broad Streets which is free after 6 pm.

 

The Middlesex Corporate Center parking garage also has parking and the entrance is on College Street between Main Street and Broad Street, one block south of the church with a pedestrian path from just east of the parking garage entrance directly to the front of the church. It charges .75 cents per half hour.
