Tour 'The Kampong' tomorrow
Larry Schokman, the Kampong director is holding a tour of the former home of David Fairchild (Fairchild Tropical Gardens) tomorrow at 10 am.
Quoted from the Kampong website: "The Kampong contains a fascinating array of flowering trees and tropical fruit cultivars. In the early 1900s, noted plant explorer David Fairchild searched the world for plants of economic and aesthetic value that might be cultivated in the United States. He and his wife Marian (daughter of Alexander Graham Bell) took up residence here amid some of his collections, borrowing the Malaysian word kampong for his home in a garden."
It will be nice and cool out tomorrow, perfect for a day in the wild. Adults: $10.00 / Students: $5.00 / Under 7: free. Call 305-442-7169 to reserve space. It is limited.
