Craig Morell, Director of The Kampong part of the National Tropical Botanical Garden,
and a team of University of Miami Ecosystem Science and Policy students have created
a learning module in order to help people grow native orchids in their personal space
in South Florida. Often conservation is viewed as a distant, larger-scale endeavor; in this case individuals can make an immediate and perceptible difference. This module provides overview, helpful tips, and beautiful images of this selection of orchids.
