One of the times we have been to Florida, we visited a unique place called the Fruit and Spice Park. It is in Homestead, FL. I wanted to go because when we were in Thailand and Vietnam we ate some of the most indescribably delicious fruits that you can ever, ever imagine. The Fruit and Spice Park has them in their proper seasons. Might be a fun trip to take. Here is the link to it:

Another catalog of interest may be Richters. They send me catalogs. I don't use them right now, because all I do is work, so I am not sure they apply to Florida's weather. This is their link:

Gotta go
