Mounts Botanical Garden Offers a Robust September Lineup

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, two-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,” Mounts Interim Co-Director Misty Stoller says. “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.”

From the first day of the month forward, the list of September events and activities at Mounts is lengthy and robust, with everything from bansai classes and honey bees, to tai chi, watercolor painting and moon rituals, to name a few.
