Fruit and Spice Park, Tropical botanical garden in Homestead, Florida.

Fruit and Spice Park, formally the Preston B. Bird/Mary Heinlein Fruit & Spice Park, is a 37-acre botanical garden in Redland, Florida, with over 500 varieties of fruits, nuts, and spice trees, including 80 banana trees, 160 mango varieties, 40 grape varieties, and 70 bamboo varieties. It also keeps two historical structures: the original Redland Schoolhouse and a coral rock building.

The park was established in 1944 by Miami-Dade County as a place to study and show tropical food crops that could thrive in the warm climate of South Florida. Over the following decades, the collection grew steadily, shifting from an agricultural research site into a destination for education and public visits.

The park's name honours Mary Calkins Heinlein, daughter of pioneer subtropical farmers, who pressed county commissioners from 1935 to buy the Redland land and became superintendent in 1944; in 1980 the county added Preston B. Bird's name. Visitors can sample fallen fruit, and the entrance store offers free tastes of fruits from the grounds.

The park is located in Homestead, south of Miami, and is most easily reached by car, with parking available on site. A tram tour is offered for those who want an overview before exploring the paths on foot, which is a good idea given the size of the grounds.

The park holds more than 80 banana trees, 160 mango varieties, over 40 grape varieties and 70 kinds of bamboo, plus guava, jackfruit, canistel, sapodilla, longan, lychee, mamey and black sapote, miracle fruit, jaboticaba and coffee. Visitors may eat fruit only once it has fallen to the ground; picking from the trees is not allowed.
