We loved the gardens! There were all kinds of plants, including endangered or extinct in wild native plants. The gardens were arranged perfectly around the ruins of a sugarcane plantation. Overall, it was a lovely walk through gardens native to multiple climates. Just be sure to drink water and being small bills to pay admission-- they have a hard time... More

This is a wonderful garden. You will see some of the most beautiful and amazing plants; so much diversity. There is also some history there. It used to be a sugar cane plantation, there still some of the original buildings standing! So if you are a history buff or you just like pretty plants and flowers, this is a great... More

Worth the 8 bucks to get in if you love plants and Caribbean ruins. There is quite a bit of walking, so bring decent shoes, but lots of plants, well labeled and many natives. It's a bit run down in spots, but keeping a place up this big must be a nightmare, so they deserve a lot of praise. This... More

I decided to take the family (8 - 75 years) to the Gardens, thinking it would be good for all ages. Guess my in-laws weren't too thrilled (oh well, can't please all) because of the walking, but once there they seemed to enjoy the different plant species. It was absolutely beautiful and I was able to take some amazing pictures.... More

We visited the Botanical Gardens as part of a guided tour of the island. It's clear much care and planning has gone into development of this property. The structures have been incorporated beautifully into the garden designs, and there are distinct habitats to explore and learn about. Our local guide had first-hand knowledge of the plants and their medicinal and... More

I loved walking thorugh the ruins of the sugar plantation buildings, and seeing all the beautiful vegetation - all with an excellent brochure describing everything. It is obvious that the many volunteers put their hearts into this place. Gift shop is lovely. More

The St. George Botanical Gardens are a nice, self guided tour. Large, open grounds with plenty of trees and a variety of flowers. Some plants are marked with signs labeling them for identification. There is a decent gift shop on the premises. It is a good way to spend an afternoon on St. Croix. More
