Away from work obligations, he enjoys traveling and visiting places in the Miami area, including the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden.
Situated in Coral Gables, Florida, southwest of Miami, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden consists of 83 acres. The garden was established by Robert H. Montgomery in 1936 and designed by architect William Lyman Phillips. The garden was named after Dr. David Fairchild, a former explorer who brought over 20,000 types of plants during his travels around the world. Upon entering the botanic garden, visitors will get to experience the tropics.
The garden features a variety of exhibits that provide visitors the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the tropical world, including several rare plants such as cycads, palms, vines, and flowering trees. In addition to plants, there are thousands of tropical fish and exotic butterflies. Some of the exotic butterflies include leopard lacewing, bamboo page, and blue morpho. Children and adults have the ability to see these butterflies up close when the garden releases them twice daily.
