I was in the Bahamas in August and was lucky enough to get a private tour of the Garden of the Groves - they were virtually destroyed by hurricane Wilma and had since been closed. Erika Gates of Kayak Nature Tours has recently taken over management of the gardens and her dedication and love of nature shines through! She has lovingly restored the gardens to their former glory - in fact I don't remember them ever looking so good. They are now a beautiful setting for weddings again. I would defeinatley recommend a trip to the gardens now that they are open again - just make sure that you take a guided tour since Erika's guides go into great detail about the history and forna of the gardens.
