Join me, a wildlife photographer, author, and conservationist, for a nature-lover’s glimpse beneath Miami’s touristic veneer. I’ll guide you on a natural history tour of Coconut Grove, including visits to natural areas and secret gardens, all with a sprinkling of history and culture.
• We’ll meet at the Barnacle Historic State Park to explore South Florida’s natural coastline, winding our way through a patch of native tropical forest for views across Biscayne Bay. We’ll look for birds, lizards, and other wildlife, and you’ll see the oldest house in the county still standing in its original location, the home of Ralph Middleton Munroe, one of Coconut Grove’s influential pioneers.
• Next, we’ll stroll through an area of grand old buildings known in the early 1900s as Millionaire's Row. I'll point out natural and historic features, including original structures and a solution-hole turned sunken garden. We’ll likely encounter roaming peacocks and iguanas as we wind our way through residential streets.
• Finally, we’ll reach my own secret garden where my studio gallery is housed in a century-old cottage. We'll explore my native plantings and the wildlife they support. You're guaranteed reptile and bird encounters both in the garden and in my aviary. We’ll finish inside the gallery where I’ll share behind-the-scenes adventures from my wildlife photography around the world.
