February-March Events at Mounts Garden

(PRESS RELEASE)_(West Palm Beach, FL – February 13, 2019) Friends of the Mounts Botanical Garden will be hosting several fun and family-friendly horticultural events during February and March, including the amazing eco-exhibition, CUTTING CORNERS: A Stickwork Exhibit, which will be on display at Mounts through mid-summer.

Family Fun Mini-Maker Fair
Saturday, February 23 – 10 am to Noon
Mounts – On the Great Lawn
Cost included with Garden admission

Due to rampant “nature-deficit disorder” – the staggering divide between today’s wired generation and the outdoors – Mounts is offering a unique opportunity to activate their creative, imagination, and resourcefulness by using the extra willow saplings from the recent community build of CUTTING CORNERS: A Stickwork Exhibition. This family-friendly event for children will celebrate fun, education, and making things. 

Note: This program is sponsored in part by the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs, and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture.
