Redland Tropical Gardens & Botanical
Foundation, Inc. (501C3), DBA Redland Tropical Gardens, proudly
presents our first pilot project "Tropical Cornucopia Tours". As a
tireless group of volunteers we are celebrating ten years of hosting
national and international dignitaries who desire to learn more about
our unique environment and our cornucopia of nontraditional tropical agriculture. This group of
volunteers has put together a long term sustainable project that will
showcase our area for generations to come.
All of these dignitaries throughout the
years have commented time and again on how interesting, charming and
knowledgeable every person they encountered was during these visits.
Many have returned to spend their precious vacation time with us. Many
have written wonderful articles about our area and us. We are no longer
hidden like "a pair of dirty boots" but are showcased like the "Royal
Robe" that we are. We are proud that the seeds we have planted in the
last ten years are beginning to sprout.
We planned and planted for excellence. When Miami Dade College received its Four Year
Certification, we assisted
in writing a Nature Based Tour Guide Course through the college and
directed the training of dedicated professionals to give our visitors
accurate information in order to assure a learning experience rather
than just a tour. Our Tour Guides
are certified and we are operating introduction tours every day except
Wednesday from
For more information on custom
group tours or educational programs that include tours call Darleen
Roth, Executive Tour Director 305-247-2016.
These tours are both the connection and the control necessary to
prevent impaction on the environment and guarantee the Redland
agricultural area can continue to do business and host visitors with
behind the scenes tours of wholesale operations, while the retail
activity enhances their in store or internet sales.
With several years of "Tropical Cornucopia" a garden show which
showcases our tropical countryside and our unique products and friendly
people every February (check Special Events for Dates and Times)!!!
We are missing one key element to make all of these dreams come
true…and that’s YOU! Please sponsor or donate today. Be a
part of this great effort to showcase our natural wonderland, both
wilderness and cultivated areas.
Sincerely yours,
Margi Buster, President
Redland Tropical Gardens
