Miami Beach Botanical Garden

Miami Beach Botanical Garden is a 3-acre property with around 100 palm species, many orchids, and native plants located near the Convention Center. The grounds include a Japanese-style section with a koi pond, a lawn area, and a waterfront path along the water's edge.

The garden was founded in 1962 as a green space project for the community. This beginning set the foundation for developing a natural retreat within the coastal area.

The garden serves as a venue for art shows and community events that weave nature into local life. Visitors naturally gather on the pathways and open areas for quiet moments or time with friends.

The garden is open Tuesday through Sunday from 9 AM to 5 PM with free entry. On-site parking is available, and the paths are easy to walk, though the grounds can feel busier on hot days.

The garden attracts zebra longwing butterflies, which are drawn to the plant varieties found throughout the grounds. These striped insects are often spotted on flowers and leaves, adding a natural element to walks around the property.
