"A half-hour's drive from Bridgetown on the east coast, these gardenson just2.4 hectares (six acres) of lush groundsare home to an astounding variety of tropical and subtropical plants, from orchids to palms and species found only in Barbados. Thegardens were the personal project of Iris Bannochie, one of the island's leading 20th-century botanists, who began designingthemin 1954 and left themto the Barbados National Trust upon her death in 1988. An on-sitecafé is a good option for a light lunch."

Beautiful botanic gardens, filled with fabulous trees and wildlife. Great trail through the gardens with an audio tour app. A restaurant and cafe serving the most delicious pastries, so good we bought extra to take home! 10/10 recommend spending a morning here and stopping for some food at the end. Pick up a lovely local hand crafted gift in the gift shop on your way out 🥰

Excellent botanical garden. A must visit if you are impressed by botanical spaces and are into botany. Lots of flora you will only find in this island, some that ahs been imported but thrives here, and greenery will fill your point of view whichever way you look. The Eastside cafe near the entrance has good coffee. It did rain on my visit and I recommend bringing an umbrella so you can enjoy comfortably.

Since an entrance you are welcomed by a lovely lady working on cash desk. She was super nice and helpful. We also decided to have a drink and pastry at cafe there. They are making them fresh everyday and we also were able to buy a loaf of bread! It was delicious and similar to more European style bread (not that sweet and deliciously crusty, so we enjoyed it with just a butter 😄). Both lemonade and pastries was delicious.

Was lovely environment, we did not go into the actual garden but saw a monkey from the entrance. It offers a very relax natural atmosphere and has a restaurant by the side. We met a young lad at the reception who was very friendly and engaged us in pleasant discussions. We had just had breakfast at Zemi so we couldn’t really eat at this restaurant. Overall was a lovely time.

A little bit pricey IMO for entrance but it’s an absolutely lovely space for a stroll. Manicured very well and beautiful flowers. Unfortunately no monkeys were seen! But there were geckos:) Well worth heading to after the PEG Farm 15 min away by taxi.

I am a fan of Botanical Gardens and this was by far one of the most beautiful peaceful Gardens I have ever been to. The staff were so kind and very helpful. I had the most delicious snack of a croissant and a coffee that was so fresh. I really enjoyed talking to the owner, Sharon, she was so lovely. I downloaded the app which I thought was extremely helpful explaining all of the beautiful Plants and Flowers that are a part of this garden. There is also a little cafe on site and a cute little locally sponsored shop. I saw lots of green monkeys! I traveled by bus and it was a long trip from the other side of island but definitely worth it. I HIGHLY recommend this visit!

Love this place! I like to come for the walking and then go to cafe (right here). Bring all the guests of the island to this garden🫶🏻

Beautiful gardens. Not your bog standard flora and forna. It has a organic design and feel to it. Plenty of information telling you what plants you're looking at via their app. Host and staff were very welcoming and friendly. Rum punch that had a kick with delicious homemade pastries.
