Cuba is open to the public from April through November for general admission, guided tours and special programs.

Cuba's well-documented plant collection is focused on the study of eastern North American flora, with emphasis on the Appalachian Piedmont.

The 6,500 accessions of plants in the collection represent more than 2,200 taxa on a diverse set of grounds, ranging from formal to naturalistic gardens.

A prominent trial garden has focused Horticultural research on the genera Coreopsis, Heuchera, Baptisia, Monarda and Trillium and several of its introductions are widely popular, including Aster laevis 'Bluebird', Aster novae-angliae 'Purple Dome' and Solidago sphacelata 'Golden Fleece'.

Cuba Center is an American Public Gardens Association Plant Collections Network holder for Hexastylis and Trillium.

Cuba Center's over 500 acres of Natural Lands surround the gardens and managed landscapes and consist of steeply rolling hills, stream valleys, rock outcrops, and deciduous forests.

Cuba Center focuses on restoration and conservation in its Natural Lands, which are available to the public through educational programs and through science-based research projects and collaborations.

Cuba Center offers continuing education classes in horticulture, conservation, art and wellness.
