WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Sept. 14, 2024 - PRLog -- (West Palm Beach, FL – September 13, 2024) October is Native Plant Month and Friends of the Mounts Botanical Garden will be hosting more than two dozen different horticultural classes and healthy activities, including a super-fun and very special Dogs' Day Howl-O-Ween & Costume Contest on October 27.

"Celebrating the autumnal season in all of its verdant glory, we continue to offer exciting and elevated programming of both new and traditional events at our beautiful 20-acre oasis, located just minutes from downtown West Palm Beach," invites Mounts Interim Director Misty Stoller. "The cooler days of October are also the perfect time to check out our new family of seven awesome 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 as of October 1 regular admission rate returns to $20 for adults; $18 for seniors, college students and military with IDs; $13 for ages 6 to 17; and free for children under age 6, Mounts members, and RAP (reciprocal program) members.
