About Kampong Garden
The Kampong, part of the National Tropical Botanical Garden, is an 11-acre botanical garden and former estate located in Coconut Grove. It features a remarkable collection of exotic fruits, flowering trees, and other tropical plants from Southeast Asia, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. Visitors can explore lush landscapes, tranquil pathways, and a variety of plant species, many of which are rare or endangered. Historically, The Kampong was the private estate of Dr. David Fairchild, a renowned botanist and plant explorer who introduced numerous economic plants to the United States. He and his wife, Marian Bell Fairchild, established this unique property as their winter home and a living laboratory, transforming it into a vibrant showcase of plant diversity. The Fairchilds' legacy is evident in the garden's mature specimen trees and the thoughtful layout that reflects horticultural innovation. To visit The Kampong, advance reservations are typically required. Check the official website for details on booking a visit, as it is a private research facility that offers guided tours and educational programs. The garden is located in Coconut Grove at 4013 Douglas Rd, Miami, FL 33133. Operating hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM; it is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
