Flamingo Gardens annual Exotic Plant Festival and Bonsai Show features a bonsai show presented by the Broward Bonsai Society in the Mary N. Porter Leaning Center. Plant and accessory vendors will have booths throughout the Gardens and showcase and sell rare and exotic plants, gardening supplies, garden art and accessories. To satisfy your tastebuds, in addition to the on-site Flamingo Pond Snack Bar & Grill there will be multicultural food booths, including savory empanadas, crepes & arepas, and for your listening pleasure, enjoy live entertainment both afternoons featuring the Ronin Taiko Japanese Drummers and smooth jazz performed by saxophonist Ruben Gonzalez.
Kids in attendance will be able to participate in the Kids’ Corner from 11am to 3pm with kids’ crafts and activities. Guests may also view Glass in Flight, 21 beautiful hand-fashioned, Dalle de Verre glass sculptures, including butterflies, bees, dragonflies, beetles, and birds, by Artist Alex Heveri and witness the illusion of movement and flight as sunlight filters through the glass, amplifying the colors and iridescence of these magnificent works of art throughout the Gardens.
