Specialists will deliver presentations on monarch butterflies as well as the importance native plant species serve in our northeast Ohio ecosystem. A variety of crafts and activities related to natural themes will be available as well.

The Wildwood Cultural Center is Mentor’s finest cultural gem and hosts a broad array of cultural arts programming. The manor house was built by the John G. Oliver family in 1908 and purchased by the city of Mentor in 1980. The 34-acre estate, filled with stately trees and beautiful gardens, includes hiking trails, barrier-free restrooms, picnic and wildlife area. The Wildwood Cultural Center is located at 7645 Little Mountain Road in Mentor.
