I was fortunate to visit
Fairchild Topical Botanic Gardens on the last of the Free Weekends in August. Normal
admi
ssion $20.00. I have been to
Fairchild twice before but for the
Chihuly Glass exhibits. There are still some examples of
Chihuly Glass on display. This time I went just for the nature. I was very
impressed. The gardens are big. On a hot day, you will want to bring along a hat and a bottle of water. Don't forget the camera. There are some very unusual plants and flowers worth a shot or two. There is a tram for the less adventurous. The day we went, there were plenty of
volunteer guides to explain the history or plants. The web site contains all the information you may need.

there could not be easier. I would suggest visiting the gardens while it is cool, then head a little up the road to
CocoWalk for a nice late lunch before heading home. There are not a lot of open spaces left in South Florida. This is certainly one filled with treasures, close to everything, easy to locate, and no excuse not to experience.
