Review & FAQ:

Mary Calkins Heinlein was born into a family of pioneer homesteaders in the Redland area. She developed a passion for showcasing the agricultural diversity of this sub-tropical region. In 1943, in partnership with park authorities, she purchased 18 acres of land. These were landscaped and designed to create park-like gardens using avocado, mango, papaya, sapodilla, citrus and other fruit trees. The Fruit & Spice Park has grown to 37 acres and contains 500 varieties of exotic fruits, herbs, spices and nuts. Guided tours and tram rides run throughout the park. Visitors can buy seeds and cuttings and take the fallen fruit. The park is part of the Redland Historic District.
