Miami Beach Botanical Garden highlights
One of Miami Beach Botanical Garden's most popular features is the Japanese Garden area. You'll find it by looking for the red lacquered bridge stretching across a water lily-ridden pond. Stone lanterns and vibrant flora line the pathways of this serene space.
The water features in this garden are impressive as well. Several ponds and wetlands exist throughout the garden and provide a suitable environment for plants that thrive by water, such as pond apple trees and red mangroves. On a clear day, the sky reflects off the water's surface and appears almost as if it were a feature of the garden as well.
Good to know when visiting Miami Beach Botanical Garden
When you visit the Miami Beach Botanical Garden, you'll find quite a few benefits you may not have expected. Most of the paths throughout the entire garden are wheelchair accessible, and wheelchairs are available for loan to visitors.
As tempting as it may be, don't take any parts of the plants. All the fruit and leaves need to be left where they are. Feel free to take pictures, however, as these rare plants are certainly worth documenting. Don't forget to grab a complimentary garden map at the entrance as well, so you'll know where to go to see everything.
