David Fairchild's bayfront garden in the Grove
The Kampong: feed your innerplant explorer
The Kampong is a 9-acre tropical garden on Biscayne Bay in Coconut Grove, once the home of plant explorer David Fairchild. It is run by the National Tropical Botanical Garden. You can tour it on your own with a map at timed entries, or join a 90-minute docent tour that covers the fruit trees, Fairchild's study and the Fairchild-Sweeney House. Reservations are recommended because parking is limited.
