Plant Societies
If you have a favorite type of plant you want to learn more about or stay up to date on plant society sales and auctions, one of the best ways to do that is by joining a plant society. Fairchild is proud to host the monthly meetings, plant shows and sales of different societies whose missions are to foster the understanding, appreciation, and love of tropical plants and botany. The monthly meetings are a great way to meet people in Miami interested in the plants you love and to hear from experts on numerous plant related topics.
Join members of your community to exchange knowledge and plants at Fairchild.
