Miami Lakes Elderly Affairs Committee is hosting a field trip for seniors on Wednesday, January 18, to the Fruit and Spice Park.
Established in 1944, the Fruit & Spice Park is the only tropical botanical garden of its kind in the U.S. This lush 37-acre park is owned and operated by Miami-Dade County’s Park and Recreation Department.
The Park’s tropical climate can be found nowhere else in the continental U.S. and hosts over 500 varieties of fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs and nuts, an other commercially important plant specimens from around the world.
Visitors are invited to the tasting counter inside the Park store, or enjoy lunch at the Mango Cafe.
Transportation will be provided to and from Town Hall. The bus will depart from Town Hall at 10:30 a.m. Space is limited. Reservations are required and will remain open until all seats are filled.
