Champions at Vizcaya! 
Walking Tour Led by Vizcaya's Chief Horticulturist Ian Simpkins 
Sunday, October 20.
10:00 - 11:30 am.

When James Deering decided to preserve as many trees as possible during Vizcaya's construction (almost 100 years ago) he paved the way for them to become registered state and national champions. Join Ian for a tour of the notable and champion trees on Vizcaya's grounds. Learn about how a tree becomes a champion and participate in measuring a candidate along with State Foresters to see if there will be a new champion at Vizcaya.

Tickets $20; available onsite only beginning at 9:30 am the day of the program
