Mounts Botanical Garden to Host 24 Healthy and Horticultural Classes and Events in September

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Aug. 8, 2024 - PRLog -- (West Palm Beach, FL – August 7, 2024) September is always a very busy time for plant lovers, and this year Friends of the Mounts Botanical Garden is planning multiple horticultural classes and events to celebrate both National Honey Month and Self-Care Awareness Month—including the always popular, 2-day Plant-a-Palooza Exotics & Orchids Plant Sale.

"As summer fades and fall arrives in all of its verdant glory, we continue to offer exciting and elevated programming of both new and traditional events—all at our beautiful 20-acre oasis, located just minutes from downtown West Palm Beach," invites Mounts Interim Co-Director Misty Stoller. "September is also the perfect time to check out our new family of seven life-sized metal animals, including three giraffes, two elephants, and both a hippo and a lion."

Mounts Botanical Garden is now open to the Public Tuesday through Sunday from 9 am to 3 pm (with last entry at 2 pm), and the daily admission rate has been lowered to $15 for adults; $12 for seniors, college students and military with IDs; $7 for ages 6 to 17; and free for children under age 6. The traditional rates at Mounts will resume on October 1.
