MORNING BOTANIZING AT OUR NATURAL AREAS
Our monthly botanizing focuses on discovery and identification of south Florida native plants in their natural habitats. Botanizing with us is an excellent way to explore our county's beautiful Natural Areas, ask experts questions, and learn from fellow wildlife champions. These leisurely walks are led by PBC Master Gardeners and FNPS heroes, Julia Renninger and Helen Laurence.
Botanizing is limited to 16 people. Membership is encouraged, but not required. Parking is usually limited - arrive early, and/or check online for overflow parking options in advance.
PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.

NATIVE PLANT DEMO GARDEN
Looking to volunteer with us at our Demo Garden at Mounts Botanical Garden?
This is a great opportunity to help keep our educational demo garden in shape and to collect cuttings for your own native landscape!
Our monthly garden maintenance meet up is the second Saturday of each month, from 9 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. at our native plant demonstration garden next to the MBG Clayton Hutchinson building.
To get there, take Military Trail to Golf Rd and proceed to the rear entrance of MBG. We've arranged for the gate to be open so you will be able to park in the lot near the demo garden.
Don't forget to bring your pruning shears and a container for cuttings.
Please sign up with Angela directly at 561-309-3877.
