Ribbit the Exhibit II

November 23 through May 25

"Under the theme of Leap into Nature, Art & Science, Mounts Botanical Garden is planning a year of inspirational programming for all ages, launching this fall with the return of Ribbit, 18-larger-than-life, thoughtfully crafted, and whimsically inspired sculptures by artist Andy Cobb," says Mounts Interim Director Misty Stoller. "Best of all, almost all of the super-sized sculptures will be new to Mounts and were not part of the original exhibition in early 2020."

"The 18 lovable, hand-crafted frog sculptures will be displayed throughout Mounts, providing a captivating window into the fascinating world of amphibians and their profound impact on our ecology," she adds.
