In the spirit of cultivating a legacy of love for southern horticulture, the Wing Haven Garden & Bird Sanctuary staff recently curated a trip to Miami for their members to tour private gardens for inspiration.
“We wanted our members to experience something they wouldn’t normally have access to outside the beautiful public garden spaces in Miami,” explains Development Director Susan Evans, who helped organize the trip. “Most of our members have a passion for gardening, so the trip had to be very special, informative and memorable.”
