After-School Living Classroom

This after-school season, children are invited to turn the garden into their classroom!

In partnership with Miami Beach Botanical Garden, Jordan’s Garden is offering a hands-on Live Classroom experience where kids learn with nature, not just about it. Each session blends gardening, plant science, creativity, and outdoor exploration, allowing children to slow down, get curious, and build real-world skills through direct experience.

Students will plant, observe, experiment, create, and care for living systems, all while developing confidence, collaboration, and a deeper connection to the natural world. Lessons are age-appropriate, sensory-rich, and designed to spark joy, responsibility, and wonder.

The garden becomes a place to grow—not only plants, but thoughtful, grounded, and curious young learners.

Arranging with Orchids – Floral Design Class

Discover the art of orchid design in this month’s hands-on class, “Arranging with Orchids,” at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden! 

You’ll learn how to create stunning orchid arrangements that are balanced, beautiful, and uniquely your own. You’ll pick up expert tips on positioning orchids in their containers, staking them for symmetry, and combining colors to achieve that perfect “wow” factor. You’ll also explore how to design arrangements that suit their space—whether it’s a 360° centerpiece, a two-sided display, or a three-sided composition.

Your instructor, Michael Coronado, Vice President of R. F. Orchids, brings a lifetime of experience to the class. Michael literally grew up at R. F. Orchids, starting at age 13 and working his way from the greenhouses to overseeing the nursery’s growing and hybridizing programs. He has traveled the world studying orchid trends—especially vandaceous orchids, R. F. Orchids’ specialty—and has exhibited at top international shows including several World Orchid Conferences and the Chelsea Flower Show. As a Senior Accredited Judge with the American Orchid Society, Michael will share insider techniques and knowledge you won’t find anywhere else. 

🌿 You’ll walk away with: 

  • New confidence in designing with orchids 

  • A deeper understanding of color, balance, and form 

  • Inspiration to create your own orchid displays at home

Come ready to get creative, learn from one of the best, and connect with fellow orchid lovers in a fun, inspiring setting.
