Built in the late 18th century, Botanical Gardens now stands as one of the oldest botanical gardens in the Western Hemisphere. Originally built to provide medicinal herbs and plants to the military, the garden now provides a clean, natural place for gatherings of locals and tourists alike. Walk the paths yourself, or hire a guide to glean a bit more information about the history of the garden and the plants. You'll find many St. Vincent Parrots within the garden; it's a good place to see one close up.

  Pleasant and well laid-out botanical garden teeming with both domestic and non-native flora. The signage isn't tremendously comprehensive so relying on one of the guides is highly recommended. Well worth a visit.

  Make sure to take a guide, they don't cost much. The park is about 20 acres of some of the most beautiful, unusual plants and trees. They apparently have a lot of weddings here and for good reason, as the setting is perfect. The St. Vincent parrots are interesting, though I wish that they were still in the big ornamental cage in the front.
