Sensory Appeal of Native Plants

by Gregg Tepper of Mt. Cuba Center.
Gregg will discuss the unique ways in which native plants appeal to each of our senses; sight, smell, touch, taste, and even sound. Learn little-known facts, hear entertaining true stories and see outstanding photographs of the wildflowers we love of the forest and field.
Gregg is the Woods Path Gardener at Mt. Cuba Center in Greensville, DE where he maintains a three-acre wooded section of over 390 different taxa of native plants. Gregg studied horticulture at the University of Delaware and has been a native plant enthusiast for over 25 years. He has designed several native plant gardens in Delaware, New York, and Pennsylvania in addition to currently main-taining a two-acre native plant and shade garden at his home in Fair Hill, Maryland. His interests include rare and unusual forms of native plants with a focus on ferns, lilies, irises, and trilliums.
