Also known as “La Florida,” South Florida is known for its amazing gardens, fabulous flowers or amazing horticulture. In fact, South Florida is the only area in the United States to have a moist, tropical climate. That said, we are able to produce fruits and vegetables that are genuinely “tropic” and grow popular fruits and vegetables much to be more flavorful than anywhere else. This amazing sunshine does not hurt, and the humidity could not be better!
Just a few years ago, many had never heard of a community garden. And, now, there are reported to be more than two dozen community gardens found in South Florida alone. The community gardens in our area were initially started to help low-income families gain access to quality produce at a low price. The ability to grow quality fruit and vegetables organically drew in other crowds.
Gardening is a therapy and eating the “fruit” of your own labor is an amazing reward. City sanctions prohibit gardening in some sections of Florida. Community gardening makes self-contained farming available to those crowds. Whether to actually grow or to purchase produce, we strongly encourage you to check out some of the top community gardens in South Florida.
