"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.

November also marks the beginning of Mounts Botanical Garden's extended hours. Starting November 1, 2024, and running through May 2025, the Garden is open to the Public Tuesday through Sunday from 9 am to 4 pm (with last entry at 3 pm).
