South Florida is one of the easiest places in the world to grow a garden. The constant humidity, frequent rainfall, and plentiful sunshine provide just about everything a typical seedling needs to survive. But some people just don’t have the green touch. If you’re one of them, head to the Edible Garden Festival at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden (10901 Old Cutler Rd., Miami) this weekend.
All day Saturday and Sunday, visitors can check out lectures and gardening and cooking demonstrations to get them started on a little green patch of their own. The festival will also include a plant and produce sale, a pumpkin patch, and a scarecrow competition. And don’t worry — there’ll be booze too, in a beer garden where visitors can sample some excellent fall brews.
Sun., Oct. 21, 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.; Mon., Oct. 22, 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., 2012
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,800 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
