Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
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
