In the Florida Keys, far off the beaten path, is the tropical garden
paradise of Grimal Grove. For the first time, a wider audience can
explore its rare and exotic fruits in this fantastic coloring book.
In the 1950s, a man named Adolf Grimal had a dream of establishing a
rare tropical fruit nursery for rambutan, canistel, lychee, and more in
the Florida Keys. But the bedrock of the islands cannot normally sustain
such lush vegetation. It was only through Grimal's engineering know-how
and persistence that hundreds of plants, like the nuaga sapote, perhaps
one of the rarest on the planet, thrived.
This hidden paradise became known as Grimal Grove. Now children and
adults alike can learn about its unique catalog of exotic fruit in this
coloring and drawing adventure.
