One of the most spectacular botanical gardens in the world, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden spans 83 acres of rare palms, flowering trees, and tropical rainforest along the edge of Biscayne Bay. Wedding ceremonies unfold beneath towering royal palms beside serene reflecting pools, while receptions fill the garden's elegant pavilions surrounded by one-of-a-kind plant collections. Every season brings new blooms, and every photograph at Fairchild is a masterpiece of color and natural light.
