Mounts Botanical Garden in WPB to Host 25 Healthy, Happy, & Hoppy Events in December

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Nov. 20, 2024 - PRLog -- (West Palm Beach, FL – November 19, 2024) Friends of the Mounts Botanical Garden will be topping off 2024 with 25 healthy and horticultural classes and events throughout the month of December, ranging from holiday happy to humorously "hoppy" with the popular, frog- Ribbit the Exhibit II.

"We are inviting friends and families to celebrate the holidays at Palm Beach County's oldest and largest public garden—Mounts Botanical Garden, a beautiful, tranquil, 20-acre oasis located just minutes from the hustle-and-bustle of downtown West Palm," says Mounts Interim Director Misty Stoller.

"In addition to taking advantage of our numerous and informative horticultural classes and workshops, visitors can enjoy our multiple special exhibits – such as our deliciously whimsical Ribbit the Exhibit II, featuring 18 larger-than-life frog sculptures at work and play, and the always awesome Moai at Mounts," she adds.

Mounts Botanical Garden is open to the Public Tuesday through Sunday from 9 am to 4 pm (with last entry at 3 pm). Admission is $20 for adults; $18 for seniors, college students and military with IDs; $13 for ages 6 to 17; and free for children under age 6, Mounts members, and RAP (reciprocal program) members.

Ribbit The Exhibit II

Back by popular demand is this collection of 18 larger-than-life, whimsical frog sculptures on throughout the Garden, offering a playful and imaginative exploration of amphibians. These fun and quirky sculptures also create opportunities for engaging programming about real frogs and their essential role in our environment. Each piece is handcrafted and colored with natural patina by artist Andy Cobb, and almost all the super-sized sculptures are new to Mounts and were not part of the original exhibition in early 2020."
