<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Tasty Traditions of the Botanical Holiday</span></b><br />
This free entertaining presentation is all about what really brings us all together for the holidays. Food! Dorothee Rubin, a food historian and member of Les Dames d’Escoffier will tell the stories of scrumptious sugar plums, why we enjoy eggnog, and how to roast chestnuts on open fires. Afterwards, sample some treats mentioned in the lecture and brainstorm with others about what to do with that damn fruitcake!<br />

Many of us only get time to sit and enjoy our gardens and
patios in the evening after work. This free presentation by Terra-Nova Sadowski
will offer ways you can plant a night garden no matter where you live. Night
gardens are functional landscapes that maximize all sensory benefits,
especially in the dark. Methodology, design ideas, and principles of night
gardening will be shared. Terra-Nova has

wonderful state in a short time. Those who attend meditation sessions regularly
will quickly learn to practice these techniques and reach a meditative state to

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">How many works of art exist in which women are compared with flowers? Here in Fair Fauna, artists turn the idea on its head. The actresses explore the ideas of femininity through flora and fauna and the extended metaphor of the garden. The stage joins the natural world to the plastic; the beauty of a botanical garden to a synthetic balloon sculpture garden. Women performing as flowers, costumed themselves as floral balloon sculptures, perform with creativity and passion as they revolt! $20 tickets can be purchased by calling the Garden at 305.673.7256. </span><a href="https://www.livingsocial.com/events/1232912-ticket-to-fair-fauna-the-revolt-of-the-feminist-flowers?pos=0" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Click here to purchase tickets at a discounted price</a><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">!</span><br />

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">From Lake Okeechobee to Florida Bay, from inside the bone-crushing jaws of an alligator to the storms that race across the blackwater backcountry, award-winning conservation photographer Mac Stone takes us on a visual journey through the wetlands of the Everglades. Stone traveled to remote areas of the Everglades as a biologist for the National Audubon Society, capturing everything from snail kites to sharks using underwater, aerial and intimate close-up photography to create windows into the essence of this beautiful and endangered ecosystem and her inhabitants. Stone will share his work, which has been recently published into a book, and the story behind the pictures in a special presentation followed by a Q & A session and book signing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Aperitifs and light bites at 6:30.

This concert, titled <i>Picante</i>, features music from Cuba and Argentina. The show will begin with a piece by Julian Orbon (1925-1991) who was a Cuban composer who lived and composed in Spain, Cuba, Mexico and the United States. He died in Miami in 1991. Aaron Copland referred to Orbon as "Cuba's most gifted composer of the new generation." Then be swept into String Quartet #1 (1948) by Alberto Ginastera (1916-1983). An argentine composer, Ginastera is considered one of the most important 20th-century classical composers of the Americas. <a href="http://www.sobechamberensemble.org/node/247" target="_blank">Purchase tickets online</a> or at the door. $25/general admission, $15/students and seniors.</span><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Free theater performance: Dying City</span></strong></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Dying City is an original play by Christopher Shinn, following a young therapist a year after her husband's death, when she is confronted by his twin brother who she has been avoiding. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">The Washington Post calls the play "A low-simmering psychological mystery, the sort of sophisticated evening that comes to a satisfying end without the burden of a thorough explanation."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">This free community theater performance is presented by the non-profit theater group, Ground Up & Rising, who describe their vision as "talking to their audience, where so many choose to preach." Showtimes are at 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, September 7, Saturday September 13 and Sunday the 14.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><a href="http://subtropics.org/frozen-music/" target="_blank">Frozen Music</a> is an ensemble that performs electronic sound installations that blend into, and interact with, the natural environment in outdoor spaces. It features sound artists David Dunn, Rene Barge and Gustavo Matamoros. This fifth version of their sound installation piece will feature an electronic sound environment that behaves as natural as the calls of birds, insects and amphibians found in the Everglades. These sounds surround the audience from four discrete cardinal points. Visitors are invited to bring their own blankets and food baskets to set up picnics on the lawn and experience this unique audio-art among the backdrop of the Garden. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">This performance is a partnership between Miami Beach Botanical Garden and SFCA [isaw+subtropics.org] and is possible with the support of the Miami-Dade Cultural Affairs Council, Culture Builds of Florida, and the Cultural Arts Department of the City of Miami Beach.</span><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Inspirations from Paris by Elaine Marie Austin</span></strong></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">This exhibit takes the viewer on the creative journey that the artist experienced during a trip to Claude Monet's garden in northern France. Viewers will be inspired to discuss among themselves the artist's message about the importance of eco tourism as a viable means for habitat and historic building preservation from French gardens to the Florida Everglades.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Impressionism, Art Deco, symbolism, and Surrealism are all motifs expressed through imagery found in Austin's paintings, as well as in narratives that go hand in hand with the art.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">A free and open-to-the-public reception will be held on Sunday, September 21 from 3 to 5 p.m. This reception includes a special spoken word event, titled "Lessons from a Plant". Everyone is welcome to come meet the artist and experience art through both sight and sound. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Meditation is a natural state of mind that we are born with but become distanced from through the stresses of everyday life. There are techniques which have been used for millennium which allow us to achieve this wonderful state in a short time. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Those who attend meditation sessions regularly will quickly learn to practice these techniques, such as simply following your breath, and will reach a meditative state while reducing stress, increasing memory, improving physical health and mental awareness. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Henry Brown will lead students through a one-hour journey inwards, in the Butterfly Room every Tuesday. These group meditations include individual instruction to assist attendees to meditate and reach a comfortable personal level of relaxation. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Free for everyone to attend. Donations from non-Garden members are encouraged to allow the Garden to continue offering similar soul-nourishing programs.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Reading Queer seeks to reveal Miami as a center for queer literature with an annual week-long literary festival led by nationally and locally recognized queer writers who create hybrid, genre-bending works that address queer identity. This inaugural Reading Queer Festival is the first ever of its kind in Miami and runs from August 22-30th, culminating with a performance at the Garden with headline poet L. Lamar Wilson, who has just published his first collection of poems, <i>Sacreligion</i>. This book was selected by Lee Ann Brown for the Carolina Wren Press Poetry Series, and individual poems have been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and won the 2011 Beau Boudreax Poetry Prize. <a href="http://readingqueer.org/festival/" target="_blank">Click here for the schedule of performances</a>.</span><br />

art teacher and gardener Winsome Bolt in the Miami Beach Botanical Garden for
this free annual art camp for kindergarten and grade school students ages 6 and
up. Children will work with a variety of mediums to discover their favorite way
to express themselves, approaching learning with creativity and inventiveness.
Camp-goers will use the Garden as their canvas: we take inspiration from the
surroundings by either recreating what we see in front of us, or using natural
materials such as seeds, rocks and leaves in our art. Children will develop
tactile learning skills and social skills as they use their right brain to
interpret their surroundings. Please bring a small snack for class. Call

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>Photography Exhibit: La Femme... en Noir et Blanc</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">This art show by Miami local Henry Perez is a photo study of and about women, capturing their inner and outer beauty in familiar and sometimes peculiar surroundings and circumstances.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">The photos are all shot in digital black and white, and have not been doctored or Photoshopped in any way, as a way of preserving their natural, raw state. In the exhibit, each subject or group of subjects is represented by a total of four different images. Most of the subjects have been instrumental in contributing to the surroundings and/or the style of their shoot, as the artist wanted them to feel comfortable and at ease, while he captured the simple joy of being a woman.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Perez states, "I started working on this series about one year ago and have compiled a fairly large amount of images," all of which will be projected onto a large screen during the opening night reception on Friday, July 25 from 6 to 10 p.m. with several 16x24 printed images on display for the duration of the exhibit. All images, as well as a coffee table book, will be available for purchase. <a href="http://henryperezphotos.com/page1/page1.html" target="_blank">Visit Henry Perez's website for more info.</a></span><br />

Sustainable Garden<o:p></o:p></strong></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The world can be complicated, but that doesn't mean gardening has to be. Learn how local permaculture farmer Alex Perez is growing his own edibles and medicinals in a way that can sustain himself and the land for now, and for years to come. Alex will share organic and natural ways to control problems in
the South Florida garden, and teach you how to plan and manage all aspects of a garden with the long-term health of the planet in mind. Whitefly, aphids, fungi and plant viruses can be
controlled without harsh chemicals that destroy beneficial organisms. Learn
strategies for avoiding these problems and how to deal with them sustainably
when they arise. Alex is a teacher, organic farmer, and founder of Green Paradise Eco Farms in Clewiston, Florida.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The M/P festival of performance art, video screenings, talks, workshops and live installations returns to the Design District and the Miami Beach Botanical Garden for the last three weekends in June (14/15, 21/22, and 28/29). The festival provides an opportunity for the general public to explore a realm at the edge of artistic disciplines. Unlike traditional theater and dance performances, all M/P performances have no designated areas to present on a stage, but are presented on the floor, blurring the line between performer and audience. The Garden will be hosting the program on the Sundays of June 15 and 29. <a href="http://www.miamiperformancefestival.org/Festival_Promo.html" target="_blank">Watch the festival promo video here.</a></span></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: x-large;"><strong>Free Summer Art Camp</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Join art teacher and
gardener Winsome Bolt in the Miami Beach Botanical Garden for this free annual
art camp for kindergarten and grade school students ages 6 and up. Children
will work with a variety of mediums to discover their favorite way to express
themselves, approaching learning with creativity and inventiveness. Camp-goers
will use the Garden as their canvas: we take inspiration from the surroundings
by either recreating what we see in front of us, or using natural materials
such as seeds, rocks and leaves in our art. Children will develop tactile
learning skills and social skills as they use their right brain to interpret
their surroundings. Please bring a small snack for class. Call 305.673.7256 for
more information or <a href="http://mbgarden.org/" target="_blank">visit the Garden's website.</a></span></span><br />

The team was chosen from a field of more than 1,000 teenagers from local high schools who participated in open mic events such as WordSpeak and SpeakOut programs by Tigertail Productions throughout the year. This year's team is headed to Philadelphia from July 16-19 to participate in the Olympics of spoken word, the Brave New Voices competition. This free performance at the Garden will provide the team with an opportunity to perform before a live audience prior to the competition, and it is the first time all six will be performing together.

<div class="MsoNormal">
Spend the day with Amy Stewart, author of four New York Times
bestsellers, including <i>Flower
Confidential</i> and <i>The Drunken Botanist</i>,
and winner of the American Horticultural Society’s Book Award. Amy’s characteristically spirited lecture on the business of
flowers will answer what has been gained and lost in the quest for the perfect
flower. Does it matter if roses have lost their scent? How do we respond to a
lily that has been bred for the convenience of the grower, not the desires of
the customer? After lunch, discover your drunken botanist with a master class
on making infused vodkas and homemade liqueurs. Learn what herbs and fruit work
best in infusions and how to blend to get the best results. See the <a href="https://www.blogger.com/"><span id="goog_733871543"></span>complete itinerary and pricing here<span id="goog_733871544"></span></a> and register today! Limited number of spaces available.</div>

On the third Thursday of each month, <a href="http://miami.surfrider.org/" target="_blank">Surfrider Foundation Miami Chapter</a> hosts the Community & Member Meeting at the Miami Beach
Botanical Garden in the Banyan Room. The public and all concerned with the
protection of our oceans and beaches are welcome. This meeting, Alex Gibbs, Senior Forecaster with the National Weather Service, will speak. Gibbs possesses a keen understanding of, and passion for, near shore wave modeling.<br />
<br />
This will be a treat for the hard-core surf community, the amateur wave forecasters among us (where's Pete Ferrer?) and the public safety community since Gibb's talk will include rip current dynamics. Surfrider will also update the community on key initiatives, activism options, serve pizza and beer, and flash some hot surf footage on the screen.</div>

plants will supply you with a written list and a visual guide to the plants
that have perfected their ability to handle this trifecta of difficult growing
conditions often found in SoFla. Find out which will work best for your home or

The concert will feature a lineup of local bands and artists uniting behind one of their own. Among the confirmed acts are Soundcircles, Electric Owl Revue, Vecinos de la Noche, Uma Galera and DJ Tarra Martinez. Additional entertainment, a silent auction and raffle will round out the evening. Proceeds from the event will go directly to the Guzman Family to aid with medical and rehabilitation costs. <a href="http://www.yankelguzman.com/get-well-yankel-the-yankel-guzman-benefit-concert/" target="_blank">Get your ticket now by donating $20 or more here</a>! Tickets will also be available at the door.<br />
<br />
Yankel Guzman is a Miami Beach native, known to many as a talented musician, energetic MC and concert producer, suffered a massive brain aneurysm on April 15th due to an abnormal vein rupture and was rushed to Mt. Sinai Medical Center. After several surgeries, Guzman was stabilized and the recovery process began. The severity of the aneurysm has left this enigmatic musician without the ability to speak, walk or move his right side and while none doubt his determination to make a full recovery, the process will be long and costly.<br />
<br />
Described as “one of the best human beings we know,” by close friends and colleagues, Guzman is known to those in his community as a genuine, hard-working and intelligent man. “The kind of person who would give you his last dollar and then walk home without a second thought,” says close friend and local celebrity Christie Ashenoff of South Beach Tow fame.</div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">April marks the end of our seasonal farmers market in the
Garden, so stock up for summer!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A special performance by the South Beach Chamber Ensemble will happen from 1 to 2 p.m. and is free for everybody! This is possible with the support of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and the Board of County Commissioners. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Vendors from The Market Company will be selling
freshly made bread from Zak the Baker, local produce and cheeses, greens from
the Little Haiti Community Garden, honey, sandwiches, mushrooms and more. Stop
by during your lunch break or after work and let us help you figure out what to
cook for dinner. The Garden Market is part of the Garden’s efforts to provide
green living solutions for the community. Supporting local farmers and crafters
keeps more money and jobs in the Miami area, and fresher, more nutritious food
in our bellies! Also every Wednesday, balance your mind and body with
rejuvenating hatha yoga at 12:30 p.m. (read below for details).<o:p></o:p></span><br />

installations that blend into, and interact with, the natural environment in
outdoor spaces. It features sound artists David Dunn, Rene Barge and
Gustavo Matamoros. This fourth version of their sound installation piece titled
Picnic, will feature an electronic sound environment that behaves as natural as
the calls of birds, insects and amphibians found in remote areas of
the Everglades. These sounds will surround the audience from four discrete
cardinal points. Visitors are invited to bring their own
blankets and food baskets to setup picnics right on the lawn, and to
exchange with each other while experiencing this extended duration
piece.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Every Wednesday in March, discover a farmers market in the
Miami Beach Botanical Garden. Vendors from The Market Company will be selling
freshly made bread from Zak the Baker, local produce and cheeses, greens from
the Little Haiti Community Garden, honey, sandwiches, mushrooms and more. Stop
by during your lunch break or after work and let us help you figure out what to
cook for dinner. <a href="http://mbgarden.org/?page_id=791" target="_blank">The Garden Market</a> is part of the Garden’s efforts to provide
green living solutions for the community. Supporting local farmers and crafters
keeps more money and jobs in the Miami area, and fresher, more nutritious food
in our bellies! Also every Wednesday, balance your mind and body with
rejuvenating hatha yoga at 12:30 p.m. (read below for details).<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Every Wednesday (EXCEPT FEBRUARY 12 and 19) discover a
farmers market in the Miami Beach Botanical Garden. Vendors from The Market
Company will be selling freshly made bread from Zak the Baker, local produce
and cheeses, greens from the Little Haiti Community Garden, honey, sandwiches,
mushrooms and more. Stop by during your lunch break or after work and let us
help you figure out what to cook for dinner. The Garden Market is part of the
Garden’s efforts to provide green living solutions for the community.
Supporting local farmers and crafters keeps more money and jobs in the Miami
area, and fresher, more nutritious food in our bellies! Also every Wednesday,
balance your mind and body with rejuvenating hatha yoga at 12:30 p.m. (read
below for details).<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><a href="http://mbgarden.org/?page_id=791" target="_blank">The Garden Market</a> is a weekly farmers market that takes place rain or shine every Wednesday, January 8--April 16, 2014. (No market on February 12 and 19 due to the Boat Show at the Convention Center). Vendors from <a href="http://themarketcompany.org/" target="_blank">The Market Company</a> will be selling freshly made bread from <a href="http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/shortorder/2012/09/zak_the_baker_the_true_artisan.php" target="_blank">Zak the Baker</a>, local produce and cheeses, greens from the <a href="http://littlehaiticommunitygarden.org/" target="_blank">Little Haiti Community Garden</a> honey, soaps and more. Stop by during your lunch break or after work and let us help you figure out what to cook for dinner. The Garden Market is part of the Garden's efforts to provide green living solutions for the community. Supporting local farmers and crafters keeps more money and jobs in the Miami area, and fresher, more nutritious food in our bellies! Also every Wednesday, balance your mind and body with rejuvenating hatha yoga at 12:30 p.m. (read below for details).</span><br />

conversation about <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Seed Underground:
A Growing Revolution to Save Food</i> by Janisse Ray, winner of The American
Horticultural Society Book Award. The New York Times has proclaimed Ray as The
Rachel Carson of the South, and in this book she brings us inspiring stories of
ordinary gardeners whose aim is to save time-honored, open pollinated varieties
of seeds. Of the thousands of seed varieties available at the turn of the 20th
century, 94% have been lost. She recounts the stories, heritage and history
that pass between these people as seeds are passed from hand to hand.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

On Christmas Eve, Ben Scrooge, a gay man who hates the holidays, is given the
chance to begin again when he is visited by three gay spirits who help him make
the journey back to love. Recounted from a gay sensibility with heart, comedy

that will appeal to audiences of all persuasions. $12 entrance.<a href="http://mglff.ticketmob.com/show.cfm?id=17268&cart=" target="_blank"> Tickets available here.</a></span><br />

This concert, entitled "Picante" features music from or inspired by Cuba, Brazil, Argentina and Venezuela. Manisero Fantasy, based on the Cuban folk song, "The Peanut Vendor" was written for the South Beach Chamber Ensemble by Al Torrente in 2012. This will be the southeastern US premiere. Also being performed is Heitor Villa-Lobos String Quartet #3. Villa-Lobos has been described as the single most significant creative figure in the 20th-century Brazilian art music. Next is Argentine icon Astor Piazzolla's Tango Ballet. The last piece will be aldemaro Romero's famous Fuga con Pajarillo. A Venezuelan composer, conductor, pianist and orchestra founder, Romero based this work on folkloric themes mixed with classical tradition, taking the joropo, a native Venezuelan dance, to a whole new level. Tickets are available online or at the door: $25 adults, $15 seniors and students. <a href="https://www.boxofficetickets.com/go/event?id=247855" target="_blank">Purchase tickets here.</a></div>

<strong><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Saturday Seminar: Going Bananas!</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Are you bananas for bananas? Have you ever thought about starting your own crop, or experimenting with a plant or two on your balcony? Join us in our monthly learning series for a seminar on growing bananas with Ian Maguire. Ian Maguire is a Homestead, Florida native and has a bachelor's degree in Fine Art from Florida International University. He and his family are the owners of Maguire's farm, a one-acre banana farm in Homestead, FL established in 2008. Ian works full time as the biological scientist for Dr. Aaron Palmateer's Florida Extension Plant Diagnostic Clinic located at the Tropical Research and Education Center (TREC). Ian's discussion on bananas will cover the basics of starting a small banana farm, description of cultivars (FHIA 1, 2, 18, 18 and Mysore), banana biology, marketing and challenges of growing this tasty crop in South Florida. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">During the seminar we will be passing around banana flavored munchies, as well as samples of banana beer! </span></div>

Adrian writes the </span><a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/1049" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;">plant clinic column</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> for the Miami Herald.

If you like stylized art by Picasso, Miro, O'Keeffe or Matisse, then this is a show you'll definitely want to check out. Stylized art is a recognizable representation of reality, such as the art of some contemporary artists and art of ancient cultures like hieroglyphs and the Lascaux cave paintings. <br />
<br />
Two of Richards's Egyptian themed paintings were taken aboard Air Force One by President Nixon and installed in the American Embassy in Cairo. Over 5,000 of Richards's paintings have been sold worldwide. Richards majored in Fine Art and Design art at the Philadelphia Museum College of Art and also studied sculpture at the Fleisher Art Memorial in Philadelphia. <br />
<br />
Her latest works are natural flora botanical abstracts: "From your garden or bouquet to my easel!" Bring your favorite flowers, petals and leaves to the show. Order your custom-designed unique original painting in any size. Your painting will be comprised of your actual flora and acrylic paint. Visit with Paula at the Garden. She will be painting at her easel daily from 10 to 5 for the duration of the show. The reception on August 31 from 3 to 5 p.m. is free and open to the public.</div>

This is the first of a new series of monthly workshops held the first Thursday of every month at the Garden. Join us in the Banyan Room for a cooking presentation and tasting led by <a href="http://eleanorhoh.com/" target="_blank">Eleanor Hoh</a>, who will be teaching a similar class on the eighth (see below). This class was voted in the Top Five Cooking Classes by the Miami New Times. This is a great opportunity to "sample" what the Garden has in store for upcoming workshops, which all have an edible theme! Attendees will learn how to make two fresh and healthy recipes that they can experiment with in their own kitchen. We will also get to sample the dishes and learn the secrets to cooking like a Wok Star! <a href="http://mbgarden.org/?page_id=134" target="_blank">Click here for the full lineup of workshops.</a><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>Free Outdoor Play: Gruesome Playground Injuries</strong></span><br />
Another outdoor production brought to you by the<a href="http://www.groundupandrising.org/events.htm" target="_blank"> Ground Up & Rising</a> crew, this play is about two eight-year-old's lives which collide in the nurse's office: Doug rode his bike off the roof and Kayleen can't stop throwing up. As they mature from accident-prone kids to self-destructive adults, their broken hearts and broken bones draw them ever closer. These two rebels may only be fit for one another, but how far can one person go to heal another's wounds? The New York Times says "The play is steeped in a wondering fatalism regarding the basic human urge to hurt." Play runs approximately one hour, showing at 5 and again at 7 outdoors behind the Banyan Room.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>An Evening with Gilbert Baker</strong></span><br />
Betsy Ross did not make the Pride Flag. Gilbert Baker created it, and inspired a movement. Gilbert Baker is an artist, civil rights activist and the creator of the Pride Flag. He served in the British Royal Army until 1972 where he was stationed in San Francisco. He taught himself to sew, and he created banners for social movements. It was during this time that he met and befriended Harvey Milk. To symbolize a movement, he created the Pride Flag in 1978 to reflect the diversity of the community. Gilbert will discuss the importance of symbolism, and how he came to create a powerful image that has shaped a movement. Join us for an evening of conversation with Gilbert, as well as an opportunity to meet others. Hosted by Shed Bored, Richard Standifer, Damian Perdo, Efrain Garcia, MD, Cindy Brown and Ivan Cano. This event is free and open to the community.<br />

It's a perfect activity for parents and kids on a leisurely Sunday afternoon. Her simple, fun, NO-RECIPE technique for busy weeknight dinners using fresh ingredients and only four seasonings keeps it light and healthy.<br />
<br />
In this workshop, Eleanor will demystify the art of wok cooking. You'll explore new ingredients and learn Asian cutting techniques. There'll be handouts with brands, Asian markets and a handy stir-fry crib sheet. She'll show how easy it is to wok up one-dish meals in 30 minutes and with very little clean up. Three dishes will illustrate her road map approach to cooking. Drinks are sponsored by Barton & Guestier's Bouvray wine and Fiji Water. There'll be giveaways from premium sponsors. Herbs and seasonal vegetables from the Edible Garden may be used in class. Registration and payment is required and space is limited. <b>Members of the Garden receive a $15 discount! </b><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Sharing the Secrets of Shona Art</b></span><br />
The Chapungu sculptures that currently grace the Garden are exquisite and beautiful, but the stories behind them are what make them truly great works of art. The Miami Beach Botanical Garden invites you to a special presentation on the fascinating people who carved these impressive monoliths, as told by Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden's Volunteer of the Year, Bob Petzinger.<br />
<br />
Bob has designed and lead tours for over 11 years, and lectured on the life, work and influences of artists such as Dale Chihuly, Roy Lichtenstein, Fernando Botero and more. He will be sharing the secrets of the Shona artists from Zimbabwe for one night only, with a lecture starting at 6:30 followed by a guided tour of the artwork in the Garden.<br />
<br />
This event is free and open to the public. Complimentary cocktails and appetizers to be served. Sculptures will be for sale, both in the Garden and in the Butterfly Room. <a href="http://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?oeidk=a07e7yubva286c834eb&llr=bjmitukab" target="_blank">REGISTER HERE!</a><br />

Peter is a middle-class publishing executive with a wife, two daughters, two cats, and two parakeets. Jerry is an isolated and disheartened man. These men meet on a park bench in New York's Central Park. Jerry is desperate to have a meaningful conversation with another human being. The elements of ironic humor and unrelenting dramatic suspense are brought to a climax when Jerry brings his victim down to his own savage level. The play explores themes of isolation, loneliness, miscommunication as anathematization, social disparity and dehumanization in a commercial world.<br />
<br />
This Pulitzer prize winning masterpiece will be performed at 5 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. Each performance runs approximately 50 minutes. The Garden will provide seating and everyone is encouraged to bring their own seating if they prefer or a blanket for the lawn.<br />

It's a perfect activity for parents and kids on a leisurely Sunday afternoon. Her simple, fun, NO-RECIPE technique for busy weeknight dinners using fresh ingredients and only four seasonings keeps it light and healthy.<br />
<br />
In this workshop, Eleanor will demystify the art of wok cooking. You'll explore new ingredients and learn Asian cutting techniques. There'll be handouts with brands, Asian markets and a handy stir-fry crib sheet. She'll show how easy it is to wok up one-dish meals in 30 minutes and with very little clean up. Three dishes will illustrate her road map approach to cooking. Drinks are sponsored by Barton & Guestier's Bouvray wine and Fiji Water. There'll be giveaways from premium sponsors. Herbs and seasonal vegetables from the Edible Garden may be used in class. Registration and payment is required and space is limited. <b>Members of the Garden receive a $15 discount! </b><br />

projects will focus on international art with different themes presented
from countries such as Mexico, Spain, China and Jamaica. Once a week,
students ages 8-12 can explore, play, and create one-of-a-kind crafts
from recycled and repurposed materials. Get out from behind the TV
screen and step into the Garden this summer for hands-on creativity and
learning. A one time $10 enrollment fee is suggested to help cover the
cost of art supplies.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Free! Summer Eco Arts Camp</span></b><br />
Join Educator Winsome Bolt and the Sunflower Society this summer for our Eco Art Camp, held in the Banyan Room every Wednesday. This year’s projects will focus on international art with different themes presented from countries such as Mexico, Spain, China and Jamaica. Once a week, students ages 8-12 can explore, play, and create one-of-a-kind crafts from recycled and repurposed materials. Get out from behind the TV screen and step into the Garden this summer for hands-on creativity and learning. A one time $10 enrollment fee is suggested to help cover the cost of art supplies.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Miami Performance International Festival '13</b></span><br />
This
exciting four-week program of performance art, video screenings, talks
and workshops provides an opportunity for the public to come
face-to-face with the breadth and depth of performance art. The festival
offers visceral and challenging performance works by artists from 19
countries as well as more than 40 national and local artists. Catch a
glimpse of the creative process across a range of media, as you are
presented with cross-disciplinary works that speak to high levels of
innovation, critical thinking, and social engagement. Events are free
but availability is limited.<br />
<br />
Unlike theater and dance,
all MP ‘13 performances have no designated areas nor are they presented
on a stage, but rather on the floor, dissolving the boundary between
the artists and viewers. <a href="http://www.miamiperformancefestival.org/Program_13/Program_13.html" target="_blank">Click here for a schedule of artists and events at the Garden and other venues.</a><br />

public textual intervention consisting of text bubbles throughout the walking
paths of the Miami Beach Botanical Garden. Collazo-Llorens’ works are based on

questionnaires, informal surveys and casual conversations in and around Miami
Beach. Pedestrians will experience the narrative as they walk
the gardens. The textscape will be exhibited until November 3, 2013. The free opening reception will start at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden from 5 to 7 p.m. with cocktails and conversation.

and the High-Heel High Hair party starting at 10 p.m. The synopsis of <i>I Am Divine: </i>Young Harris Glenn Milstead
liked musicals, was drawn to feminine pursuits, and was bullied. He was privately
playing dress-up games in his mother's clothes. By 1963, Glenn was brave enough
to show up at a party dressed as an astonishingly passable Elizabeth Taylor.
After meeting a crowd of gay hipsters, Glenn starts camping it up, and meets the
man who changed his life, John Waters. <a href="http://mglff.ticketmob.com/show.cfm?id=4330" target="_blank">Click here for tickets</a>, or <a href="http://www.mglff.com/films/view/104" target="_blank">see the movie’s trailer</a>.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>American
Canopy: Trees, Forests, and the Making of a Nation</i>,
(2013) by Eric Rutkow discusses the many captivating stories of trees
throughout our country’s history: the Liberty Trees, where colonists gathered
to plot rebellion against the British; Henry David Thoreau’s famous retreat
into the woods; the creation of New York City’s Central Park; the great fire of
1871 that killed a thousand people in the lumber town of Peshtigo, Wisconsin;
the fevered attempts to save the American chestnut and the American elm from
extinction; and the controversy over spotted owls and the old-growth forests
they inhabited. The Green Book Club reads and discusses environmentally-themed
books chosen and read during the month preceding each meeting. This will be the
last meeting for this season until November. Newcomers are always welcome.

Patricia Phang Sang Chase, a Reiki Master, Ancient Tibetan Healer, and
certified Tse Dup Yang Bod Lopon teacher (don't know what any of those
titles mean? Come find out!) will be talking about the most popular
essential oils, how and what they are used to heal, and how you can
apply the knowledge in your daily life. The orchid exchange and 12:30 yoga class will continue every Wednesday. These 45 minute sessions are FREE for members with a suggested $10 donation for non-members. </div>

Come learn the secrets of the landscaping trade and how you can apply them to your own property. Don’t spend money paying someone else to do what can be a rewarding and creative personal project. We will talk about microclimates that are created within a typical yard space (or apartment balcony) and what plants do well in what areas. Attendees are encouraged to come with sketches of their property to discuss their individual needs and gardening goals. </div>

The Garden Market is a weekly farmers market that takes place rain or
shine every Wednesday. Vendors from <a href="http://themarketcompany.org/" target="_blank">The Market Company</a> will be selling
local fruits and veggies, pastries and breads, candles and soaps, and
much more. The Market is not just for shopping however. <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Weekly y</span></span>oga classes are held at 12:30 p.m. These 45 minute sessions are <b>
FREE </b>for members with a suggested $10 donation for non-members. <a href="http://mbgarden.org/?page_id=791" target="_blank">Click here for the instructor's bio.</a> Weekly gardening workshops will also be on the agenda, at 11 a.m. and again at 4 p.m. <b>The March 13 workshop is on basic pruning and tree trimming </b>with Benoit Jonckheere, our very own horticulturist. Lastly, the Garden hosts a plant sale and an orchid exchange all day: Trade

Inese Bunch of <a href="http://www.bunchfarms.com/" target="_blank">Bunch Farm</a> in Kendall will be answering all your questions pertaining to beekeeping on the Beach. The Bunch's are committed to keeping their apiary as green as possible, and will teach you their tips and tricks to raising your own colony of bees. Inese is involved in the University of Florida's Master Beekeeping Program, and has practice speaking to audiences through her beekeeping socials that she holds to educate others on this interesting hobby. Beekeeping is a homesteading skill that can provide you with your own honey and wax. Even if you do not plan on ever owning your own hive, this talk will answer questions about why bees are disappearing, and what you can plant in your garden to bring them back. <b>This event is FREE!</b></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The Garden Market is a weekly farmers market that takes place rain or shine every Wednesday. Vendors from The Market Company will be selling local fruits and veggies, pastries and breads, candles and soaps, and much more. The Market is not just for shopping however. We will also be hosting weekly yoga classes at 12:30 p.m. These 45 minute sessions are FREE for members with a suggested $10 donation for non-members. <a href="http://mbgarden.org/?page_id=791" target="_blank">Click here for the instructor's bio.</a> Weekly gardening workshops will also be on the agenda, at 11 a.m. and again at 4 p.m. <b>The February 27 workshop will show how to make your own herbed butter and sprouts. </b> Lastly, the Garden will host a plant sale and an orchid exchange: Trade in your current orchid for a $5 coupon off a new one in bloom. </div>

Greetings from Bambooland!<br /> Gary Rich "The Bamboo Man" will
present an overview of bamboo and reasons that you should consider
planting bamboos in your South Florida garden. (Hint: It's one of the
best ways to counteract global warming!) Gary will also talk about the
difference between running and clumping bamboo, how to choose the right
variety of bamboo for the particular needs of your garden, and how to
plant, maintain, water, fertilize, mulch and prune these beautiful
grasses. Recommendations on useful tools to obtain the maximum results
from your bamboo plants will also be provided. Plants will be available
for sale after the lecture. When planted properly and knowledgeably, these giant grasses can grow to formidable forests, guaranteed to leave passersby slack-jawed. Come join us for this Saturday morning lecture. We have coffee and cookies!</div>

Come visit the Garden in the evening for light hors d’oeuvres and refreshments. We will be celebrating all those who have donated to the Garden and helped us grow. We will also be showing off our new statue: A replica of a warrior from the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsUE-ZtcUFg" target="_blank">Terracotta Army</a> in China, a UNESCO world heritage site. The statue is a gift to Miami Beach from China.<br />
