History
In 1914, James Donn, Sr. purchased a small flower shop in Miami, renamed it Exotic Gardens and turned it into a national floral business. The company secured the contract to landscape the newly built Hialeah Race Track in 1924, and in 1931, another new track, Tropical, engaged their services. Donn purchased the struggling Gulfstream race track in Hallandale in 1941 and turned it into a successful racing enterprise, while using the extensive grounds to experiment with different landscaping ideas for his floral business.
