Spring wildflowers have special adaptations to overcome these challenges\, and intricate relationships with pollinators and seed dispersers. Learn more about these wildflowers\, their life histories\, and plant-insect interactions\, and look for them during a guided walk in the gardens.\nThis program takes place in person at Mt. Cuba Center on Saturday\, April 27\, 2024 (Rain Date: Sunday\, April 28).\nAbout the Instructor:\nEllen Lake\, PhD\, is the Director of Conservation and Research at Mt. Cuba Center.

SUMMARY:Ornitherapy: For Your Mind\, Body\, and Soul
DESCRIPTION:Finding balance in our busy and pressured lives can be challenging\, but if we allow an appreciation of birds and nature to slow us down we improve our overall well-being. Research shows that exposure to nature actively reduces stress\, depression\, and anxiety\, while helping build a stronger heart and immune system. Birds are gateways into deeper experiences with nature\, magnifying these benefits. Through the mindful observations of birds and their habitats\, we learn not only about them\, but about ourselves.\nThis program takes place in person at Mt. Cuba Center on Saturday\, April 27\, 2024.\nAbout the Instructor:\nHolly is an avid birder\, educator\, writer\, and lecturer\, who has a passion for bird conservation. She is an instructor for National Audubon and the American Birding Association and is the lead data reviewer for eBird in Pennsylvania. Holly believes in the powerful benefits nature holds for our wellbeing and is lead author on a book on the subject\, aptly called Ornitherapy: For Your Mind\, Body\, and Soul\, guiding readers into deeper connections to the birds around them.

SUMMARY:Trillium and Wine: Complementary Pairings
DESCRIPTION:Great wine and food pairings either emphasize the similarities or highlight the differences between the two. Dr. Raguso studies the floral scents of native plant species\, including trilliums\, a core collection at Mt. Cuba. Trilliums are noteworthy for not smelling like conventional flowers\, with fragrances that evoke wine\, cheese\, fruit\, and spices. He has assembled a “flight” of Mt. Cuba trilliums and several wines that complement their woodsy aroma. Explore the chemistry and ecological value of various trillium scents and take note of the pairings you like. (Ages 21 and over)\nThis program takes place in person at Mt. Cuba Center on Saturday\, April 27\, 2024.\nAbout the Instructor:\nRobert Raguso\, PhD\, is a professor of Chemical Ecology at Cornell University. His research interests run the spectrum of insect-plant interactions mediated by chemistry\, especially the role of fragrance in pollination ecology and animal behavior. He has promoted his research by organizing symposia\, short courses\, and workshops world-wide.
