Transform your landscape by swapping out traditional wood chip mulch for the vibrant beauty of “green mulch” — native groundcovers that breathe life into your garden! These resilient plants not only offer a stunning tapestry of colors and textures but also provide essential habitat for moths, butterflies, and beneficial insects year-round. Explore a captivating selection of attractive and hardy species that shine in the fall and seamlessly knit your outdoor space together. This class includes a walk through the gardens highlighting groundcovers with autumn appeal.
This program takes place in-person at Mt. Cuba Center Friday, October 24, 2025.
