"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."

Andromeda Botanic Gardens is a beautiful horticultural garden on the East Coast of Barbados. It is a peaceful place with winding pathways through a hillside filled with rare palms, ancient Bearded Fig trees, and vibrant tropical blooms. It is an ideal escape for nature lovers.

What an experience 🔥. It's one thing to see it in photos but another to experience it in person Absolutely stunning, with the Atlantic Ocean roar being heard throughout. So many plant species, well thought layout. It's a botanical paradise . From entrance to exit, it is really something else ❤️ Bought the month pass and will be sure to pass by again 🇧🇧🙏

Sharon, the owner, is incredibly enthusiastic about every detail—large or small—about this wonderfully historic place with an immense amount of plants, trees, and flowers from around the world that are thriving in Barbados. It’s a lush wonderland and educational without being too high-brow. A must for any visit to Barbados! 12/6/25 visit

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 🥰

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.
