Discover the resilience and beauty of a historic garden with expert guidance from the professionals who nurture it daily. Vizcaya's Rose Garden: A Behind the Scenes Tour will be offered on Friday, January 9, March 20 and April 10, providing a rare opportunity to explore this special space at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens.
Led by Senior Horticulturist Marco Perez-Alvarez, this intimate tour reveals the compelling story of Vizcaya's rose collection, which was devastated by the Great Hurricane of 1920 and took over 90 years to restore. Visitors will learn about the garden's history, development and the techniques used to bring the flowers back to their former glory.
The experience offers insights for both dedicated rose enthusiasts and casual garden admirers, including practical care tips that participants can apply to their own home gardens. Throughout the tour, visitors will encounter a diverse collection of roses, each with distinct characteristics, colors and fragrances.
Tickets include general admission to Vizcaya Museum and Gardens and are priced at $39 for adults, $24 for children ages 6-12 and $10 for Vizcaya members. The program will proceed regardless of weather conditions, and tickets purchased online are non-refundable and non-transferable. Attendees should present their Eventbrite ticket at the admissions booth upon arrival.
