Philip Romero, a guide at the park, expressed enthusiasm for the variety of bananas they grow. 'We have 40 banana varieties,' he said. 'These are more flavorful than your typical store-bought Cavendish banana. Everyone loves how petite they are.' This statement highlights not only the diversity of fruit available but also an emphasis on the enhanced flavor of these tropical varieties compared to common supermarket options.
Nora Walsh vividly describes her experience in the 37-acre Fruit & Spice Park: 'As we wove through the park, Romero continued to point out a staggering variety of tropical-fruit plants: breadfruit, carambola, dragonfruit, guava, hog plum, loquat, lychee, monstera, mulberry, papaya, passion fruit, star apple, tamarind.' This showcases the unique abundance of tropical fruits that can be found just outside Miami.
The article describes the impact of the Fruit & Spice Park, stating, 'Today the garden...grows more than 500 varieties of fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs, and nuts. And perhaps just as important, Homestead has seeded a community of farmers, grocers, restaurateurs, and even winemakers.' This reflects the park's role in fostering local agriculture and community entrepreneurship.
