St. George Village Botanical Garden

The 16-acre garden contains over 1,500 native and exotic plant species, including bromeliads, cacti, orchids, and palms arranged in specialized collections.

The garden occupies the grounds of an 18th-century Danish sugar plantation, featuring restored colonial buildings and factory ruins that showcase the agricultural heritage.

The garden maintains a herbarium of 5,000 plant specimens and a specialized library housed in a restored post-emancipation workers' cottage from the 1980s.

The garden opens daily except Christmas, offering guided tours, educational workshops, and multiple pathways through different plant collections and archaeological sites.

The conservation garden includes rare species from the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, functioning as a seed bank to preserve genetic diversity.
