Few seasons make the Bonnet House’s beauty burst the way Spring does. Home to five distinct ecosystems and three additional cultivated gardens, the flowering season at Bonnet House might remind visitors of a Van Gogh painting. Blooming with vibrant colors and literally buzzing with life, you don’t want to miss an opportunity to attend one of our many events hosted this spring by naturalists, artists, and teachers. Bonnet House has countless opportunities to inspire creativity, find peace with our morning yoga sessions, or learn about the plants and animals that give us the beautiful display of life Florida is known for.
Staying true to Frederic and Evelyn Bartlett’s memory, Bonnet House has remained a patron of the arts. With inspiration all around us, it’s easy to discover your creativity in Bonnet House. Our Spring art class, Drawing With A Purpose, features expert art teacher Bonny Opie. Bonny will guide you through the steps of creating compelling compositions. In this class, artists of all levels can learn the intricacies of understanding composition, thumbnail sketches, and drawing from photographs. If you’d like to unlock your inner artist, register today!
Yoga & Sound Healing combines a Hatha yoga flow with soothing sound healing on Bonnet House’s Veranda. Hosted at least once a month on Friday, this soothing practice will connect your body and soul to the environment around you. Don’t miss our next Yoga on The Veranda on April 11th. If your goal is to connect with nature, Bonnet House has a different learning opportunity for you! Bees In Our Bonnet is back this April with Joanna Diamond, our resident bee expert. This exciting class will cover little-known bee facts, common misconceptions, proper pollinator care, and more. Bees In Our Bonnet wraps up with a honey-tasting session, and raw wildflower honey will be available for purchase after class. This immersive experience is definitely a spring specialty for the books, and you can register for it today before spots fill up.
Just like in nature, Bonnet House comes to life after the spring solstice, and we want you to join us! Check out our events page to spot a class that resonates with you. From documentary viewings to orchid care, spring at the Bonnet House house has something for everyone. Happy Spring, and happier learning!
