The nonprofit garden celebrated the hurricane-delayed groundbreaking of ‘Windows on the Floating World:
Blume Tropical Wetland Garden,’ expected to open in spring 2017. The new exhibit will educate visitors
about the importance of water conservation. Margaret Blume, the longtime supporter for whom the garden
is named, said, ‘Nature is the universal language of the soul. There are many words that I hope will be associated
with this beautiful new garden: children, curiosity, creativity, companionship, learning, enjoyment, appreciation,
simplicity and quiet.’ ABOVE: (l-r) Ron Rice, of Palm Beach County Cooperative Extension,
