AGRICULTURE NIGHTS: CONNECT & CREATE SERIES | Discover the beauty and importance of plants in our lives through “AgriCulture Nights.” This inspiring monthly series invites the community to explore their relationship with nature by engaging in creative activities like art making and cooking. Join us at Vizcaya Village to deepen your connection to the environment, learn about the uses of plants, and celebrate their significance to both people and the planet. Each session offers a unique opportunity to create, connect, and cultivate wellness in a vibrant, supportive setting.

To promote inclusion for all, Vizcaya ensures that all community programs, after-hour and weekend events for locals, feature activities that are physically accessible to all visitors. While not all areas of the estate are wheelchair accessible, community programs are purposefully located in areas without stairs or that can be accessed via a ramp.
