RIBBIT THE EXHIBIT If you have not made it to Brookgreen to see Ribbit the Exhibit, time is running out. Th ese wonderfully whimsical large copper frogs will be hopping away on July 9th. Artist J. A. Cobb’s work has been bringing smiles and laughter to Brookgreen’s visitors since the opening on April 1, 2017. In addition to the exhibit, our Creative Education Department program included educational and fun activities for children. Brookgreen’s Horticulture Department created a wonderful garden for the frogs to land in with a special, themed “garden room” for each one. Th e garden will remain in place after the exhibit is over as an outdoor butterfl y garden to complement the Whispering Wings Butterfl y House. 2017 BROOKGREEN MEDAL For President’s Council members and above, if you have not yet received your 2017 Brookgreen Medal, we encourage you to stop by the Membership Offi ce any weekday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to pick up your medal.
