• Beginner Watercolor with Carl Stoveland

  Class
  Ages 17–17· Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday· Evening· Membership Required

  Your kid will get to try watercolor painting for the first time in a really supportive, low-pressure way—Carl Stoveland is all about making it feel accessible even if art seems intimidating at first. The class is designed specifically for beginners who've always been curious about watercolor but weren't sure where to start, and it happens evenings on Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday at the garden itself, which is such a cool setting to be creating art surrounded by nature. You'll need a Mounts Botanical Garden membership to participate (it's $13 a month), and honestly, if your family isn't a member yet, it might be worth it anyway since you get free admission and access to all their events. What really makes this special is that it combines learning a new art skill with being in this beautiful tropical garden space—it's not just sitting in a classroom, it's getting creative while surrounded by actual gardens and plants.
