1. Montreal Gardens
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 182 reviews
Although smaller than the Botanical Gardens in Kingstown, these gardens still feature many species of exotic plants.
Reviewed By johnkO5414FG - Johnsburg, United States
The Montreal Gardens are a true labor of love created by its gardener Timothy Vaughn. He has put his heart and soul and over twenty-five years of his life into designing and developing a magnificent botanical garden encompassing seven acres of lush hills and valleys less than an hour's drive outside of Kingstown, St. Vincent. The variety of plants and flowers is extraordinary. Although this hidden gem is off the beaten path, it is worth the adventure of navigating the backroads needed to get there. For a mere $5 you are treated to a beautiful place surrounded by the welcoming sea and steep tropical mountain tops. You will find yourself immersed in your very own Garden of Eden, with all of the stimulating sights, smells and sounds of nature. The Montreal Gardens are like none other. I recommend that you check them out. You won't be disappointed.

It was hard to find this botanical gardens. It is located in the mountain with no indications, until we were close to it. The owner gave us a tour. We had great views and amazing flowers and plants. We took our time. It was amazing that the cost was 5 Euros. There were so many beautiful flowers, as well as plants. Our guide brought us to his home. He showed what he eats from his gardens. That was very interesting. He had also cacti. By the way, the guide is very friendly. A must see!

We visited the garden/gallery and were so happy we did! It offers a beautiful and lush respite from the touristy Montego Bay hip strip. Ras greeted us and gave a brief history of the home/garden/museum and interesting experience of building on the steep hillside/cliff while a hummingbird landed in my hand to feed from the feeder. The guide was very informative and pleasant. It rained while we were there which seemed only to enhance the experience...they provided us with umbrellas.

This is a beautiful tropical garden with views overlooking the water. Make sure to use Google maps to find it! The current hours are weekends only (which we didn't know until we called on a Monday), but the owner was close by and actually let us come in for a private experience! The owner was so friendly and accommodating, sharing her love for gardening and knowledge of plants. You'll also get to spot some local birds, banaquits and hummingbirds. Such a beautiful place, I would definitely recommend visiting on your next trip to St. Thomas!

You can stroll amid the ruins of this 17-acre estate, a former 19th-century sugarcane plantation village, which contains varied ecosystems from semi-arid cactus to lush green rain forest.
Reviewed By Queenbee148
We stopped here for a couple of hours of history and botany. Amidst the ruins of an old sugar plantation, grows a garden full of plants brought to St. Croix by the various waves of settlers on the island. The ruins and the excellent map and guide tell the story of the plantation, the enslaved workers and the others who lived here. Most plants are identified with their common and Latin names.
