Splendor in the Garden

JP Faber

Each year, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden puts on its Splendor in the Garden luncheon and fashion show fundraiser. Individual tickets run $1,000 for the joy of supporting the Garden, hanging with other leading members of Gables society, and seeing a runway show with models sporting the latest spring fashions. This year’s 10th annual event went forward, despite Covid-19, with social distancing in place. Presented by Mercedes-Benz of Coral Gables and Neiman Marcus of Coral Gables, the event was chaired by Gables’ philanthropists Swanee DiMare and Frances Sevilla-Secasa. Funds raised from the event, upwards of $100,000, support the Garden’s programs for tropical plant conservation, science, education and horticulture.
