Miami Beach Botanical Garden

The Miami Beach Botanical Garden is a visible display of community action, and an ongoing effort of South Beach Miami residents to make their town even more beautiful than it already is. The site, located at the northern end of South Beach Miami, is nestled in between the Miami Beach Convention Center and the Holocaust Memorial, at 2000 Convention Center Drive, South Beach, and it's been here for forty years. After decades of neglect, it's now making a comeback and includes the following types of gardens and collections:

• Conservatory
• Japanese
• Herb
• Orchid
• Native Plant
• Tropical
• Display Garden
• Xeriscape
• Research
• Kitchen

The site covers about five acres and offers visitors a calm spot of solitude to balance the frenetic and glitzy pace of South Beach Miami. It's free admission, and there's gift shop. You can arrange for walking tours of the Botanical Garden, or a walking tour of nearby Lincoln Road. If you happen to be in South Beach Miami on the second Thursday of any month, you can catch a cultural performance at the Miami Botanical Garden. Each Fall they also host the Herb Festival, and in early Spring the Palm Fesitval takes place.
