Everything you need to know
South Beach Gardens is our name for the lush 2.6-acre botanical garden tucked right into the heart of Miami Beach — an urban micro-forest hidden in plain sight, just across from the Convention Center and a few blocks from the ocean. Originally established in 1962 and beautifully redesigned over the decades, the garden is now one of South Beach's most surprising ceremony spots: native tropical hardwood hammocks, a tranquil Japanese garden with a koi pond, a palm walk, edible and native plant collections, and a manicured event lawn framed by mature greenery.
