Today’s a special day! We celebrate the great Dr. David Fairchild and thank him for all of his work as an explorer and botanist. Dr. Fairchild traveled around the world in search of plants and crops to bring to America. Dr. Fairchild is also responsible for the introduction of more than 200,000 garden plants into the United States. 🌱 Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden was established to showcase some of the most important plants Dr. Fairchild collected. 💚 | Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden
