We took a group of Grade 1 children for an educational visit. Our welcome was warm and friendly. The guide Erroll was superb. He explained the history of the gardens, and told us about different plants and trees. He pitched his talk at exactly the right level for the children. We bought our plants to take for the school garden but it was wonderful to be given extra ones. This was to celebrate the 250 year anniversary of the gardens. Thank you all staff for a wonderful day.

Spacious botanical gardens just outside the capital Kingstown. Hire a guide to show you around to discover more about the trees and plants. Also see the national bird of the island, the St Vincent Amazon parrot.

We came here as part of an island tour and enjoyed a most interesting explanation of the various plants and trees. Particularly liked the aviary, which is well stocked with lots of local species. Nice gift shop on the way out.

Beautiful gardens .. worth getting a guide ... Errol was knowledgeable and friendly. Really enjoyed it

We visited under our own steam catching the local bus from our resort which was an experience in its own right, however, it stops right outside the gardens so very convenient and only $3EC per journey. The gardens charge a small entrance fee and you are encouraged to have a guide. Well worth it - this made what would have been a mundane visit for us non gardeners very interesting indeed. He shared his knowledge with us and we saw beautiful flowers and tasted many interesting fruits and spices. Due to tropical rain our visit ran into a second hour so we did pay more, however, still very good value for money and a fraction of the cost of an organised excursion. You can get the bus back or walk down to Kingstown and catch one there after a look around.

We were amazed at the variety of exotic plants found in such a small area. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable of the plants and their histories. A lovely wedding venue.

What a beautiful place - these Gardens are the oldest botanical gardens in the western hemisphere and are beautifully maintained by folks who know what they're doing. A descendant of an original breadfuit tree brought by Captain William Bligh (of Mutiny on the Bounty notoriety) from the South Pacific was still happily living there for the recent 250th birthday party.The Gardens lie on the outskirts of town - they are not huge in size, and you should not expect the "amusements" or facilities that, these days, many folks might expect to be able to access in other countries (bars, restaurants, other so-called attractions). But for those who really appreciate nature at its finest, to the accompaniment of highly professional guides and botanist-gardeners (who can even throw in a bit of Latin from time to time), this must be one of the high spots of St Vincent, in addition to being an oasis of tranquillity that allow one to escape the heat and chaos of Kingstown on a busy day.

We decided to have a guide. Definitely worth it as not much is labelled and so without a guide you would not really know what your looking at most of the time. He was full of interesting facts about the plants and trees and their uses. A beautiful site with lots to see including the native parrot.
