(PRESS RELEASE)_(West Palm Beach, FL – March 15, 2022) Friends of the Mounts Botanical Garden will be hosting 16 fun, healthy, educational, and always awesome open-air events in April, including the always popular Spring Plant Sale (April 23-24).
 
“Palm Beach County’s oldest and largest botanical garden is inviting garden enthusiasts, plant lovers, and proud ‘green-thumbers’ of all ages to come out and enjoy some of our many safe, informative, and happy horticultural activities throughout February,” says Curator-Director Rochelle Wolberg. “And everybody with a determination to ‘get healthier’ will find a series of events to nurture both the body and soul.”
 
Through May 8
Sean Kenney’s Nature POP!
Tuesday-Sunday, 9 am to 4 pm (last entry at 3 p.m.)
$15 adults; $12 seniors 65+, college students and military with ID; $7 ages 6-17; FREE for MBG members and children under 6. Ticket includes full Garden admission.
Tickets available for purchase at www.mounts.org or at the gate.
Reconnect with your Inner Child. This exciting exhibition from acclaimed artist Sean Kenney made its Florida premiere at Mounts. It features over 40 sculptures made from more than 800,000 LEGO® pieces and explores the beauty of nature through highly stylized, colorful displays that stand in striking contrast with their surroundings. Produced by Imagine Exhibitions, Nature POP! blends art, science, and innovation in the display of these sculptures.

Tai Chi Classes
Saturdays, 10 am to 11 am
$10 for members; $15 for nonmembers (includes full Garden admission)
Registration is required; class size is limited to 25 adults.
Originally from ancient China, Tai Chi is an art form as well as an exercise. The movements are flowing and gentle, but profoundly powerful. The main objective of the practice of Tai Chi is to magnify, strengthen, and encourage the flow of the internal energy, the “chi”.  When the “chi” flows throughout the body, one experiences over-all health, rejuvenation, and internal joy. Led by Josefina McMahon, this class is based on Sun Style Tai Chi which combines Qigong and Tai Chi. Wear sneakers or closed comfortable shoes and loose top and pants. Bring a towel and water.
To register, please visit www.mounts.org/events
