Local Lovin’

Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden

There’s a lot more blossoming at Fairchild than the plants. The recently renovated gift shop blends shopping, culture, and community into the garden experience. The shelves rotate with seasonal collections, from vibrant stationery and hand-poured candles to art and home goods. The garden also hosts rare plant sales that draw collectors from across the region. Partnering with local artisans and producers when possible, Fairchild spotlights local talent while continuing to nurture community.
