Every three years, Mt. Cuba starts a new research project in our Trial Garden. From asters to iron weed, plant groups are brought together for observation and study. But how is such a group amassed? Join Amy Highland, our Director of Collections and Conservation Lead, as she recounts her expeditions gathering mountain mints (Pycnanthemum spp.) for our next big study. Learn about each species and how to distinguish it from its brethren, all of which are much beloved by pollinators. See the various habitats where these plants were found and how they contribute to the evolution of species. This class will be rounded out with the documented uses for mountain mint both in the garden and in the home. $29  Register
