During Miami winters, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden transforms itself into The NightGarden, an enchanted, illuminated experience full of fantasy and wonderment – where things like the Wise Talking Tree, Archimedes and Flying Fairies come to life.
This gorgeous magical garden is scheduled to open on Nov. 10, 2022, and run through January 7, 2024.
