We found our way to the vicinity of Bay Gardens, but when we asked a neighbour we were informed that they were no longer open. This was on Saturday 1st February 2014. I rated this as a 1 star attraction because I could not leave this field blank.

Albert St. Bernard is the owner and wonderful guide of this jungle paradise.One can phone beforehand to make sure a guide is there to meet you.A zone 4 bus (ask which one) from St. George's bus station costing 2.50ecd (60p. UK) will drop you at St. Paul's Police Station. A short walk downhill will take you to the garden which costs only 10ecd pp.Compared to the other well manicured, more expensive, cruise ship focussed gardens, this is a joy for the true gardener. There are Coy carp in a pond and "pregnant palms" amid lots of indigenous specimens. As it is mainly green, the sudden splash of colour is surprising. Albert, who is on the Chelsea Flower Show exhibit (he will be there this year), explains everything so clearly.

I worked with the owner to arrange a bouquet for our wedding day in Grenada,,, orchid bouquet,,, they were delivered right to the resort. I was happy with it, only arranging things over email and phone once we arrived in Grenada.

Only recently re-opened and we were the recipients of a very warm friendly greeting and a wonderful tour lasting over an hour and learning about all the plants and the history of the place. As a keen gardner it was time well spent and it was so friendly interacting with our guides who were eager to show off the collection of plants and trees. The highlight for me were the hummingbirds taking nectar from the flowers.

The Bay Garden is a one hour tour of the islands herbs, flowers, trees and bushes by extremely knowledgable guide. Not a lot of walking, but the terrain can be uneven and a bit slick; elderly or compromised persons may not want to go. Beautiful and informative. Fifteen minutes from St, George

Wanted to spend some time at the gardens but having finally located them we too found we had had a wasted journey. No sign of life, abandoned buildings which looked as though they had been empty some time. Two passersby advised that the gardens were closed following the hurricane!

We just visited Bay Gardens for a second time and were delighted to see that it was open to the public again after a short closure earlier in the year. This is a magical tropical garden (not your formally laid out European garden), more of a managed piece of jungle with very interesting plants, mature trees, amazing foliage and beautiful flowers. If you are interested in Caribbean plants in any way whatsoever then this garden is a must. This garden is privately owned and operates for the benefit of visitors so it is well worth supporting. Albert gave us a private tour and even showed us the overgrown remains of the sugar mill he was born in, which is part of the garden. He was extremely knowledgeable about the plants, their origins and uses.

We were shown round by the owner Albert who is an expert plantsman and really loves his garden. Tropical plants from all around the globe. Not particularly flowery but lots of trees, shrubs etc in a most beautiful setting. Well worth seeing.

We were recently (Feb 2014) visiting old friends who own part of Bay Garden (the wife's family own it). They are currently working on restoring it, but it may be awhile before it is ready for visitors.

We drove to visit Bay Gardens this morning as I am keenly interested in tropical flora, but we were most disappointed to find the place apparently abandoned. The 'Welcome to Bay Gardens' sign was still there, but the offices were empty, and the entrance area was looking distinctly neglected. The refreshments area was equally looking as though it had not been used for a while. When we went on to visit Fort Matthew, near St George's, we were told that the owner had 'gone away'. Such a shame as the gardens are still clearly indicated on the most recent local tourist maps.
