Leon Levy Native Plant Preserve, Botanical garden in Governor's Harbour, Bahamas.
The 30-acre preserve contains an array of native Bahamian plants connected by wooden boardwalks and natural trails through different ecological zones.
Shelby White established the preserve in 2009 as a tribute to her husband Leon Levy, creating the first national park on Eleuthera island.
The preserve maintains exhibits showcasing traditional Bahamian bush medicine practices and the historical applications of indigenous plants in local communities.
The preserve welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, offering guided tours and educational programs about native plant conservation.
In 2019, this facility received recognition as the first accredited botanical garden in The Bahamas from Botanic Gardens Conservation International.
