The Floridant/10288013

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Floridant -- (West Palm Beach, FL – November 11, 2024) Coming on Saturday, November 23, Friends of the Mounts Botanical Garden will be hosting the Grand Opening of the fun and family-friendly: Ribbit the Exhibit II

Be among the first to visit Ribbit the Exhibit II as it officially opens at Mounts Botanical Garden," invites Interim Director Misty Stoller. "This collection of 18 larger-than-life, whimsical frog sculptures will be displayed throughout the Garden, offering a playful and imaginative exploration of amphibians. These fun and quirky sculptures also create opportunities for engaging programming about real frogs and their essential role in our environment. Each piece is handcrafted and colored with natural patina by artist Andy Cobb, and almost all the super-sized sculptures are new to Mounts and were not part of the original exhibition in early 2020."

To celebrate the grand opening, Mounts is hosting a special Family Day on November 23 with numerous activities celebrating the exhibit for visitors of all ages, including arts and crafts activities, live reggae band, food trucks, and more.
