Thank you to our three amazing volunteers, Ellie Goldberg, Dana Lloret @danalloret , and Donna Underwood, for bringing together their talents to write and illustrate a book that shares their love of the Garden with everyone. “In the Grand Garden” is a children’s book which is now available for purchase at The Shop at Fairchild. All profits will be donated to the Garden. 💚
.
BOOK SUMMARY: Best buddies, Anole Al and Butterfly Bella, guide five little tots through their botanical Garden home. Playful and exciting adventures are told in rhyme as the two rascals take them on a tour of the Garden. Al and Bella taste cacao, enjoy the starry night lounging on a Victoria Amazonica waterlily, escape plant-eating iguanas, hide from a kapok’s menacing stare, swing from a rainbow eucalyptus tree, and much more. Their adventure provides a delightful and whimsical introduction to botany for young children as they explore flora and fauna at Fairchild.

ABOUT DANA, DONNA, & ELLIE: The three first met as first grade moms and strolls through the Garden have kept them close and connected. Now they are proud and happy grandmothers. Last year, during one of their frequent Garden strolls, they agreed they needed to pass on their love for the Garden and all things botanical to their grandchildren and future generations. Dana and Ellie enjoy rhyming, while Donna is a watercolorist extraordinaire, so they combined their talents and published In the Grand Garden, a fun and engaging children's book of totany (botany for tots).

Resembling a coral on land, Euphorbia fiherenensis is thriving in the Lin Lougheed Spiny Forest of Madagascar. This beautiful succulent from southwest Madagascar quickly sheds its tiny leaves from new shoots leaving only the elegant green stems for photosynthesis. 💚

If you have not yet heard, Fairchild is reimagining the landscape of Lincoln Road as a botanic garden. We have partnered with the @lincolnrd team to provide public, smartphone-accessible interpretation of the plants. Over 120 QR-coded signs are being installed on trees, palms, and orchids, connecting visitors to plant-specific information and media. Take a trip to Lincoln Road and enjoy the self-guided, complimentary tour! 💚

📸: Orange geiger tree (Cordia sebestena) This tough native tree makes a great urban street tree in the tropics, growing slowly to a height of 30 feet. It blooms with attractive bright orange flowers throughout the year, especially in summer. Its stiff, dark green leaves are rough and hairy, feeling much like sandpaper.

Blue and yellow Macaws enjoying this beautiful day, feasting on Royal Palm fruit at the Garden. 🌴
.
The blue-and-yellow macaw (Ara ararauna), also known as the blue-and-gold macaw, is a large neotropical parrot with mostly blue top parts and light orange underparts. They are popular in avicultura because of their striking color, ability to talk and close bonding to humans. 😊

Encyclia tampensis (origin: Miami-Dade County), also called the "Butterfly Orchid”: this hardy orchid grows well on a wide variety of hardwood trees including live oaks, mahogany, cypress, buttonwood, and fruit trees. It forms dense clusters along shady horizontal branches and flowers May-July.

This amazing tropical epiphytic blueberry relative from Ecuador, Ceratostema silvicola, has one of the most beautiful flowers. Not only do the flowers have exquisite jewel-like beauty, but they are also edible! It is thriving in our Tropical Plant Conservatory. Many thanks to @atlbotanical for sharing this with us and @determannron for introducing it to cultivation in the US! 💚
