Seminars

Each year the DNPS hosts a seminar in the autumn. Past seminars have focused on collecting and germinating native plant seeds, the biology and ecology of orchids, and the biology and ecology of the Ericacae family.
Each seminar is led by an expert in the field who gives a slideshow/PowerPoint presentation. Then we typically have a question and answer segment, then a buffet/potluck type lunch, followed by a field trip. We also have had small plant sales in conjunction with the workshop, where highlighted plants are sold. In 2007, the Mt. Cuba Center generously donated plants from the Ericacae family that were sold to the attendees.
