Fairchild Gala In The Garden

Gala in the Garden is Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden’s most significant fundraising event of the year. Held entirely outdoors, the evening takes place as the Garden transitions from day to night, with guests gathering near Pandanus Lake and moving through illuminated paths and open-air spaces. The event supports Fairchild’s core initiatives, including science education programs reaching hundreds of thousands of students annually, conservation research focused on rare and endangered plants, and restoration efforts for orchids, butterflies, and urban gardens throughout Miami. Proceeds from the gala directly sustain the scale and impact of Fairchild’s work.
