Fruit and Spice Park

Experience a world of exotic flavors at Fruit and Spice Park, the only tropical botanical garden of its kind in the contiguous United States. Nestled in Redland, Florida, this 37-acre paradise showcases over 500 varieties of fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs, and nuts from around the globe, thriving in South Florida's unique subtropical climate. It's a truly interactive experience where visitors are encouraged to sample ripe fruits that have fallen to the ground, offering a taste adventure unlike any other.

The park is a living catalog of edible wonders, featuring impressive collections such as 180 varieties of mangoes (the largest public collection in the U.S.), 40 types of bananas, 70 kinds of bamboo, and 15 varieties of jackfruit trees. Explore themed areas representing Tropical Americas, Africa, Australia and the Pacific Islands, Asia, and the Mediterranean. Discover fascinating plants like the African Sausage Tree with its distinctive fruits, the towering Baobab, the vibrant Rainbow Eucalyptus, and the sweet Annonas and Canistel, often called "pumpkin pie fruit." Beyond the botanical, the park also preserves history with its original 1906 Redland Schoolhouse and the historic Bauer-Neill-Mitchell House.

Whether you're savoring the "chocolate pudding" flavor of a Black Sapote, marveling at the unique Ice Cream Bean, or simply enjoying the tranquil pathways and waterfalls, the park offers endless opportunities for discovery and delight. It's an immersive educational experience that highlights the incredible diversity of edible plants and the rich agricultural heritage of the Redland community. Wondering what that bird or insect is?
