Identifying Trees in the Winter Landscape – Section A
Take a rare winter walk through Mt. Cuba Center’s gardens and learn the skill of tree identification along the way. Recognize species based on subtle seasonal characteristics and develop observational techniques to assess bark, buds, bud scales, fruit and seed remnants, fallen leaves, and overall tree form. An introduction to key botanical terminology will build confidence in identification methods specific to winter. Through this experience, gain a new appreciation for trees and their role in the winter landscape.
This program takes place in-person at Mt. Cuba Center Saturday, January 17, 2026 (Rain Date: Saturday 1/24).
