Style and purpose meet amid lush tropical beauty as Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden hosts an afternoon of fashion, philanthropy and elegance in support of environmental education.

Splendor in the Garden features a glamorous outdoor runway presentation by Neiman Marcus Coral Gables showcasing Brunello Cucinelli’s Spring/Summer 2026 Collection, along with fine dining and inspiring community recognition.
