Nearly 90 Interval International employees recently participated in the company’s Eighth Annual Community Service Day benefiting the Fruit & Spice Park, the only tropical botanical garden of its kind in the United States, maintained and operated by the Miami-Dade County Park and Recreation Department.

The 37-acre subtropical paradise, nestled in the heart of the historic Redland community, hosts more than 500 varieties of rare fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, nuts, and other commercially important plant specimens from around the world. They include: 80 varieties of bananas, 70 varieties of bamboo, 40 varieties of grapes, 50 varieties of mangoes, 15 varieties of jackfruit trees, and numerous other exotic edibles.

Volunteers thinned bamboo, spread mulch, trimmed banana trees, and attached tree labels. They also had the opportunity to learn about and sample some of the exotic fruits, herbs, and spices grown in the park.
