Lonely Planet review for Kampong

If you speak Malay or Indonesian, yes, the Kampong is named for the Bahasa word for village. David Fairchild, Indiana Jones of the botanical world and founder of Fairchild Tropical Gardens, came up with the title, undoubtedly after a long Javanese jaunt. This was where the adventurer would rest in-between journeys in search of beautiful and economically viable plant life. Today it’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the lovely grounds serve as a classroom for the National Tropical Botanical Garden, but tours are available by appointment.
