Sacred Spaces
Vizcaya’s European-inspired gardens are among the most elaborate in the United States. Reminiscent of gardens created in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Italy and France, the overall landscape design is conceived as a series of rooms. The central space is dominated by low hedges, or parterres, in a geometric arrangement. Beyond that are the evocative Secret Garden, the intimate Theater Garden, the playful Maze Garden, and the once-watery domain of the Fountain Garden. On either side of this designed landscape, James Deering preserved the native forest.
Join us at the Lake level Windmill Chapel for our Weekend Inspirational Program. We are offering guided meditations, inspirational messages, and docent-led walking tours each Saturday and Sunday while our Temple remains under post-fire restoration.
