March at Mounts Botanical Garden is packed with classes, events, and exhibitions, offering something special for plant lovers and environmental enthusiasts. A standout highlight of the activities this month includes RIBBIT THE EXHIBIT II, as reported by the Palm Beach County government's news service. This eye-catching display features 18 larger-than-life frog sculptures crafted by artist Andy Cobb, offering visitors a whimsical and artistic gateway into discussions about the importance of amphibians in our ecosystems.
Fostering an eco-conscious spirit, the event focuses on connecting people with nature in a variety of interactive ways. For those inclined towards both flora and fauna, a "Plants on the Edge" tour with UF/IFAS Agent Kara Krueger invites attendees to explore the unique plant life at land and water's nexus, while an insight into beekeeping promises a unique glimpse into the apian world with Joanna Diamond. According to Palm Beach County government's news service, visitors will also have the chance to examine the over-irrigation issue with Dr. Kimberly Moore and delve into the world of tropical aroids with Mounts Horticulturist Palmer Crippen.
Hands-on workshops like "Propagation Techniques" promise practical experience in plant multiplication, inviting garden enthusiasts to bring home more than just newfound knowledge. Anyone interested in capturing the serene atmosphere can catch the Palm Beach Plein Air Painters in the midst of their creative process as they work amidst the garden's natural splendor, as per the Garden's events schedule.
Garden visitors should definitely mark their calendars for the rare chance to combine wellness with landscaping in the "Get GardenFit" class hosted by PBS series presenter Madeline deVries Hooper, demonstrating how to garden without the usual aches and pains. Recurring programs, such as the Orchid Series and tranquil Forest Bathing sessions, will continue throughout March to offer a steady rendezvous with tranquility and the lush canopy of Mounts Botanical Garden. For those looking to enhance their artistic or meditative practices, watercolor painting and Tai Chi sessions are also scheduled to take place repeatedly during the month, as detailed in Palm Beach County's government publication.
Mounts Botanical Garden opens its gates from Tuesday to Sunday, admitting various age groups at different rates. Children under six, Mounts members, and RAP members are welcomed free of charge. All details regarding admissions and event registrations can be found through the Mounts website.
