Established in 1765, the delightful St. Vincent Botanical Gardens are the oldest gardens in the West Indies.
The gardens encompass 20 acres of indigenous and exotic tropical plants and trees, such as hibiscus, cinnamon, nutmeg, mahogany, palms, and a breadfruit tree reputedly grown from a seedling brought to the island by Captain Bligh.
Bird lovers can see the endemic St. Vincent parrot in a little aviary on the grounds. Hire a guide here at the entrance for a small fee to truly get the most out of these beautiful gardens.
If you're traveling as a family, be sure to bring the kids along. This is a perfect place to visit when you're in need of a break from picking sand from their bathing suits.
