An internationally respected tropical garden of palms, cycads, rainforest and conservation collections.
Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden covers 83 acres in Coral Gables, presenting palms, cycads, flowering trees, rainforest planting and rare tropical collections. Exhibitions, festivals and conservation work add depth beyond a simple garden walk.
It is a landmark destination for tropical horticulture and photography. Its Miami location makes it better suited to a planned overnight or multi-stop South Florida visit than a casual day trip.
