Dominica Botanical Gardens, Botanical garden in Roseau, Dominica
The Dominica Botanical Gardens covers 40 acres of land, displaying over 50 varieties of indigenous plants and imported trees from the Caribbean region.
The gardens were established in 1889 by the British Crown Government to encourage crop diversification and provide farmers with properly propagated seedlings.
The gardens host the annual Creole in the Park festival during October, combining music performances with Dominica's independence celebrations.
Located within walking distance from downtown Roseau, the gardens maintain research laboratories focused on plant conservation and parrot species protection.
A school bus crushed by a massive Baobab tree during Hurricane David in 1979 remains in place as a testament to natural forces.
