"Mark your calendars, mango fiends: Fairchild is celebrating their annual mango festival this year on July 13 and 14. The weekend festival is a great time to try all sorts of mango varieties—like Florida sugarloafs or Indian alphonsos. You can even buy your very own baby tree to take home. Stop by the mango marketplace and pick up some mango scented incense and drink mango cocktails on the lawn. Fairchild (the botanist) was one of the first people to bring mangoes to Florida, and Fairchild (the garden) has been holding the mango festival for three decades, so they know this fruit better than anyone and can make the best out of any season.
