Yes, Delaware, this winter has seemed endless. We’ve been battling snow, ice, wind and rain since December, and there’s no end in sight to this brutal weather! We’ve got to look ahead, though, and keep on charging through. We’re only a few weeks away from the best spring kick-off festival in the state – Mt. Cuba’s Wildflower Celebration.
Each year, Mt. Cuba Center’s Wildflower Celebration is the unofficial start to spring in Delaware.

The Mt. Cuba Center is Delaware’s only garden dedicated to native plants and wildlife, and visiting is a treat any time of year.

This year, volunteers planted over 800 Blue Moon woodland phlox plants to give away, so you can attract butterflies to your own garden.

Delaware’s gardens are some of the best in the country – and they’re all beautiful in the spring. Plan a trip to The Secret Goodstay Gardens, The Magical Marion Coffin Gardens, or (of course!) Winterthur’s Enchanted Woods to get yourself ready for spring.
