Lincoln Road to Bloom with 500 Native Orchids

(Miami Beach, FL) Jul 5, 2019 -

Experience the growth of South Florida’s native flower on Tuesday, July 9 at 11 a.m. in an orchid planting ceremony on Lincoln Road. Donated by Terranova, over eight species of the vibrant vine will be planted along the palm and hardwood trees.

In 2017, Fairchild Botanical Garden planted the seed to bring back orchid prominence with the launch of its Million Orchid Project. Since then, the City of Miami Beach has brought that vision to fruition – on track to plant a total 20,000 native orchids throughout the urban island.

The morning will also include the dedication of a new cross orchid by Dr. Martin Motes, a renown local orchid grower. The new species will be named in honor of Terranova chairman Stephen Bittel, a strong advocate in support of Fairchild’s orchid programs.

Tuesday, July at 11 a.m.
800 Block of Lincoln Road
