More Miami

Another garden I visited in Florida was the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. Opened in 1938, it is named after David Fairchild (1869 - 1954), a famous plant explorer who retired to Miami in 1935 and helped to set up the garden. I was so thrilled to see so many exotics growing outdoors. Several sculptures are dotted around the garden too, chosen to create interesting vistas.
