Mounts Botanical Garden provides opportunities to learn about growing plants and painting flowers in November. Each event is hosted by the nonprofit Friends of Mounts Botanical Garden.


“Watercolor at the Garden With Carl Stoveland” takes place at 10 a.m. Nov. 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29. This course is for adults with some art experience and requires registration. Participants explore art and nature through watercolor and start with a nature walk in the garden for inspiration. Bring pencils, pens, a paint sketchpad or watercolor pad, and something to photograph nature with.

Stoveland teaches watercolor painting to beginners at 10 a.m. Nov. 3, 10 and 17. Registered participants join Stoveland on a journey to discover the deep link between art and nature. Like the experienced course, the workshop begins with a nature walk. Stoveland helps participants decide on their subject and properly use watercolors. Participants provide their own pencils, pens, paint sketchpad or watercolor pad, and a photography device, like a smartphone or tablet. Each watercolor course costs $15 for members and $20 for nonmembers.



Florida Wildflower Foundation Executive Director Stacey Matrazzo leads “Native Plants for Florida Gardens” from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Nov. 3. Up to 35 adults can learn about Florida plants used for residential landscapes. The price is $15 for members and $20 for nonmembers.
