Description

Fairchild Tropical Gardens (Miami, FL) Annual membership for 2 adults, (expires 11/30/13).


Since 1938 Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden has assembled an outstanding collection of taxonomically arranged and well-documented tropical plants, emphasizing palms, cycads, flowering trees and shrubs, vines and fruit trees. Except for certain cultivated plants and critically endangered species, many of these plants are collected from the wild. These collections are now a resource of world significance. They also are an important local resource, providing the beauty which makes Fairchild a major cultural and visitor attraction, as well as offering a basis for education, research and conservation.


Some special events and areas focus on our collections: they include the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden International Mango Festival held annually in July;  the 2-acre Richard H. Simons Rainforest opened in October 2000; the William F. Whitman Tropical Fruit Pavilion opened in November 2003; and work continues on the newest exhibit in the lowlands area of Fairchild - the Jewels of the Caribbean.  Our annual  Members' Day Plant Sale in October is a popular event for plant lovers.
