National Public Gardens Day is Friday, May 6. If your mother likes gardens, taking her to see one might be a great Mother’s Day Gift. To visit most of the gardens, you’ll need to sign up in advance.
In and near Miami-Dade County, three gardens are participating, including one that is usually open only by appointment:
- Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, 10901 Old Cutler Rd., Coral Gables. Everyone gets $5 off admission so it’s $20 for adults, $13 for seniors 65 and up, and $7 for kids 6-17, and a 10% discount on memberships. Sign up here.
- Montgomery Botanical Center, 11901 Old Cutler Road, Coral Gables. Free guided tours at 9 a.m., and 1 p.m. Sign up here.
