Each year at the Gardens we reflect on all that has happened the year before and make a list of New Year resolutions we aspire to achieve. Once again, this coming year, we have five New Year’s Resolutions that we promise to honor for our members, visitors, patrons and participants of our performing arts and educational programs.
Resolution 1
We will strive to make this garden more lush and better tended than it has ever been before so that when you visit you are surrounded in our botanical beauty and the best that nature has to offer. We are resolved to be your Botanical Garden of Choice!
Resolution 2
We will inspire you. We will seek out delicious exhibits for our Galleries and our Garden, and present festivals throughout the season that bring together artists, artisans and craftsmen from around the world. We will make these events available and affordable to all. We are resolved to feed your soul.
Resolution 3
We commit to our community and the families who visit to provide a safe and secure environment where children of all ages can come to laugh, learn and play. It is our resolution to be the most family friendly Botanical Garden in Florida.
Resolution 4
Let us entertain you. From jazz to movies, from chamber orchestra to theater, we promise evenings of entertainment for every taste and every age. We also promise to provide a venue for our local public and private schools to showcase their very best. We are steadfast in our resolve to live up to our reputation as South Florida’s Cultural Arts Park.
Resolution 5
We will tend to our roots as we grow our Garden. Generations have experienced entertainment, enlightenment, and pure enjoyment at this iconic and historically designated venue. It is our resolution to preserve our history as we pave the road to our future.
Christmas and New Years at the Gardens
