Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is a Miami gem. It is home to more than 50 acres of palms, mangroves, agave, orchids, bamboo and ginger plants. Some are native to South Florida. Others come from around the world, from the Caribbean to Madagascar.
I became a member of Fairchild. (Thanks to Groupon!)
I recently made my first visit with my sister E. and can't wait to head back, especially for the chocolate festival and later the mango festival. It is a fascinating escape from the urban grind.
We saw:
Lots of palm trees;
Bright and pretty plants that I don't know the name of;
Fruit so big it grows on the ground;
More crazy fruit; and
A giant spider on a giant spider web. I'd call her Carlota.
