J.R. O'Neal Botanical Gardens

Lovely well-maintained garden. So much plants grown here and it is a place that is vibrant of colour. You'll see a few chickens roaming about as well as a lot of lizards! We loved seeing and holding the red legged turtoises.

A beautiful little oasis. Well worth a visit to slip into "island time". Don't forget to say hello to the tortoises.

This was a relatively short walk from the cruise port (maybe 20 minutes). Admission was $3 per adult when we went. It was a nice place to walk around and enjoy the beautiful plants. NOTE: The walking directions Google Maps provided at the time I was planning this trip indicated a different route than what you actually have to take. When I looked at the walking route from the port, it indicated I should continue past the police station on Pickenin Road. The entrance is actually on Station Avenue (left turn before you pass the police station). There is a sign at the corner of Pickenin and Station Avenue (see photos) to point you in the right direction.

A delightful small garden and a quiet oasis away from the hustle and bustle of Road Town. The gardens are well maintained with good paths. We saw many exotic species endemic to the British Virgin Islands as well as from elsewhere. Well worth a visit and we would definitely like to go back one day.

Inexpensive and interesting specimens. There are also plants for sale

nice little garden. has some cool plants and a neat overturned tree you can climb on. lots of wildlife wanders around too. saw a mother hen with chicks while i was there! takes about 30 minutes to see

This is a lovely garden in the center of Road Town. Dozens and dozens of beautiful flowers and trees. Many were identified by signage, but unfortunately most were not. There were plenty of benches and also a number of large shady trellises to get out of the sun for a bit. Chickens and roosters wandered around, but a pleasant surprise was seeing maybe 20 turtles in, and around, a pond of lily pads.

An Incredible wonder to behold, after the hurricane the botanical garden still thrives today with the loss of royal palms, and the curators house. After seeing the destruction I was utterly shocked and I was also amazed that so much still survived the storm. The plants here still thrive and animals still ran everywhere. The garden is truly a wonder to behold, the beautiful trees and wildlife is an amazing spectacle knowing how much destruction was caused. Bless the staff and people working to restore the garden.
