FAIRCHILD TRC PICAL BOTANIC GAREN
Exploring, Explaining and Conserving the World of Tropical Plants
am writing to congratulate you on the success of the Morningside Park Palmetum for education,
conservation, and aesthetic value. You have organized a great coalition of partners and volunteers
from throughout South Florida to build one of our region's best palm collections. It has been very
impressive to see the Palmetum develop in recent years, and I am proud that Fairchild Tropical
Botanic Garden has been part of the team.
Palms are among the world's most valuable plants, supporting the livelihood of people throughout
the world. They are icons of the tropics and have strong cultural significance within our local
community. Of more than 2,000 palm species worldwide, you have selected over 90 that represent
South Florida, the broader Caribbean, and all other palm growing regions including Madagascar
and New Caledonia. All major groups of palms are represented, including those that provide food,
medicine, and shelter. Through careful curation, you have ensured that the palms are accurately
