The beginning of summer is just around the corner and with it comes the celebration of all things floral. A visit to Orchids in the Park will give you a chance to take your pick from the numerous orchid plants donated by local and international growers. This fundraiser’s ten-year anniversary event is being held in conjunction with OrchidMania South Florida, a group whose primary focus is to provide support for AIDS education and relief programs within the community. Head over to Dante Fascell Park (8600 SW 57th Ave., South Miami) with a cardboard box and an eye for a bargain, and you’ll be sure to leave with something homegrown and beautiful — and, most importantly, benevolent. Admission is free, but be sure to bring cash or checks (with proper ID) for your purchases. Orchids in the Park will begin today and run through Sunday.
May 26-27, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
