She believes that gardening should be a joyful and pain-free experience. You can attend one or all of the “Get GardenFit” sessions.
 
“You don’t want to miss this chance to get inspired, get moving, and learn important techniques on how to manage your body while gardening,” says Mounts Botanical Garden Executive Director James May.
 
“Our bodies are our most important gardening tool,” says Madeline deVries Hooper. “I am passionate about helping gardeners take care of their bodies while taking care of their gardens, and what better place to share this with the Palm Beaches than at Mounts Botanical Garden.”
