In 1927, Floyd L. Wray opened Flamingo Groves in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Flamingo Groves became one of the leaders in the citrus industry by grafting new varieties of citrus and opening the way to the modern trend of gift fruit shipping. In 1959, The Medina Family began their venture in the citrus industry at Island Farm Groves in Davie, Florida, and in 1963 opened Alex's Citrus Packing Plant in Dania Beach, Florida. In 1979, Alex's Citrus Packing Plant and Flamingo Groves merged into the company you know today, Alex's Flamingo Groves and Gift Shop. We are here for all of your holiday and gift fruit shipping needs.
