WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - June 25, 2024 - PRLog -- (West Palm Beach, FL – June 25, 2024) Friends of the Mounts Botanical Garden is seeking sponsors for its next major exhibition. Coming back by popular demand—the fun and family-friendly:

Ribbit the Exhibit II

November 21 through May 25

"Under the theme of Leap into Nature, Art & Science, Mounts Botanical Garden is planning a year of inspirational programming for all ages, launching this fall with the return of Ribbit, 18-larger-than-life, thoughtfully crafted and whimsically inspired sculptures by Andy Cobb," says Mounts Interim Co-Director Misty Stoller. "Best of all, almost all of the super-sized sculptures will be new to Mounts and were not part of the original exhibition in early 2020"

"The 18 lovable, hand-crafted frog sculptures will be displayed throughout Mounts, providing a captivating window into the fascinating world of amphibians and their profound impact on our ecology," she adds.

During Ribbit the Exhibit II, Garden visitors can immerse themselves in a whimsical art experience where nature, art, and science converge harmoniously, while discovering how these seemingly small creatures play a crucial role in the delicate balance of ecosystems and the interconnectedness that sustains the natural world.

Each frog sculpture is 5 to 7 feet tall, is crafted from hand-patinated copper, and each has a name and a story. Inspirational and Educational programming during this exhibit will include:

• Family Days, with activities for children and fun and informative presentations by experts.
• Wetlands Ecology and Environmental Workshops.
• "Frogtastic" educational programs.
