WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - eTradeWire -- (West Palm Beach, FL – July 12, 2024) Friends of the Mounts Botanical Garden is inviting the public to suggest names for its seven newest garden accessories—life-sized animals crafted from recycled metal that have been placed around the 20-acre tropical oasis located just minutes from the hustle-bustle of downtown West Palm Beach.

"As prelude to our upcoming Leap into Nature, Art & Science, a year of inspirational programming for all ages that will culminate with our new Ribbitt the Exhibit II Grand Opening November 23, Mounts Botanical Garden has recently added seven life-sized metal animals—three giraffes, two elephants, and both a hippo and a lion," says Interim Co-Director Misty Stoller.

"We hope garden-lovers of all ages will visit Mounts this summer, check out these new super-cool, man-made animals, and then email us their various name suggestions for each—from which our team will select the winning monikers," she adds. The email address is mountsmarketing@pbcgov.org. The deadline to enter is Labor Day, September 2.

This fun new Name Game for our seven metal animals is the perfect, family-friendly kick-off for the next major exhibition at Mounts Botanical Garden, which is coming back by popular demand:

Ribbit the Exhibit II

November 23 through May 25

This delightful new exhibit will feature 18-larger-than-life, thoughtfully crafted, and whimsically inspired sculptures by Andy Cobb," says 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.

During Ribbit the Exhibit II, Garden visitors can immerse themselves in a whimsical art experience where nature, art, and science converge harmoniously, while discovering how these seemingly small creatures play a crucial role in the delicate balance of ecosystems and the interconnectedness that sustains the natural world.
