The large-scale installation, done in conjunction with the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County and Discover the Palm Beaches, represented The Palm Beaches’ vibrant attractions, arts and culture, glittering views of the Atlantic, and more. “This was an amazing opportunity to share The Palm Beaches warm and sunny vibes with New York City shoppers and visitors and encourage them to visit our art and culture-rich destination,” said Mounts Curator-Director Rochelle Wolberg. “Plus, it served as a preview to an exhibit by Lisa Waud that we will be hosting at Mounts Botanical Garden this spring.” The life-size abstract was a take on The Palm Beaches’ picturesque lifeguard towers that dot the county’s 47 miles of beaches and was on display at The Shops & Restaurants at Hudson Yards from December 5-9, 2022. Designed by floral artist Lisa Waud, the display featured hundreds of live tropical botanicals, including orchids, monsteras, philodendrons, hibiscus, roses, birds of paradise, foxtail ferns, and more. The piece was also environmentally friendly, as the artist strives for zero waste throughout her practice. She sources from local growers and vendors, utilizes found and foraged natural items, buys used and reusable materials, composts organic matter, and recycles what remains. ‘The Palm Beaches in Bloom’ is a preview to the exhibit that Lisa Waud will be installing at Mounts Botanical Garden in April of 2023 where she will create installations within the Garden’s tropical landscape.
