Take a deep breath and stop to smell the thousands of plants found in Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden.  No words can describe this majestic place.  Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is home to more than 4,000 colorful and vibrant species of plants including, cycads, ferns, orchids, aroids and bromeliads.
