A Very Merry Garden

From Nov. 13 through Dec. 24, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden transforms into A Very Merry Garden, six weeks of holiday magic open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Families are invited on Santa’s Guards of the Garden, a Garden-wide quest to find the magical Guards hidden throughout Fairchild, each protecting a special piece of Christmas magic, and to work together to uncover the key that brings it all together. Between clues, little ones can share their wishes with Santa, cozy up for storytime with Mrs. Claus, decorate gingerbread pals, paint their own nutcrackers, compete in Reindeer Games in the Children’s Garden and send letters straight to the North Pole. Warm up at the Hot Cocoa Bar and check off holiday gifts in the Gift Shop, all surrounded by the tropical beauty of the Garden.
