Mounts Botanical Garden to Host Grand Opening of RIBBIT THE EXHIBIT II & FAMILY DAY

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.

The Garden will be open that day from 9 am to 4 pm (with last entry at 3 pm). Admission is $20 for adults; $18 for seniors, college students and military with IDs; $13 for ages 6 to 17; and free for children under age 6, Mounts members, and RAP (reciprocal program) members.
