Montreal Gardens, Kingstown

We had an excellent day trip here. Bring literally everything you need, no facilities apart from toilets. We were back packing so the usd150 taxi we were quoted was out of the question. Head to Little Tokyo and get yourself a bus to Richland Park. Cost EC5 each and the driver took us a little further up the mountain for another 20EC, not far but gained a decent amount of height. From the drop off another 20min walk on very broken roads gets you to the gardens. The immediate calm was palpable, the garden borrows from the surrounding landscape which is just epic. We spent a good couple of hours and had lunch in one of the covered areas. Plenty of botanical diversity packed in with borders frothing with exotic flowers, plenty of lizards and a few hummingbirds. There were a few mosquitos that found us when we stopped for lunch but we didn't get bitten despite forgetting our deet. Make sure you find the hidden garden!

Really pretty garden with a wide variety of plants which attract many species of birds. The plants are densely planted and the narrow pathways through the garden give it an enchanted feel.

Absolutely gorgeous. As a floral lover, it was like being at home flowers heaven. Such a large variety of beautiful and brightly colored flowers to behold. This garden is absolutely beautiful and amazing. I might be a little bias because I love flora and fauna so much but ilthis garden is amazing. The vision of nature here is breathtaking.

It was calming. Being immersed in lush organized flora allowed me to appreciate the beauty of planet earth again. I loved the concrete trail that took us all throughout the garden allowing us to enjoy the many varieties of flowers and plants for the 45 minutes it took us to cover! Make a visit, it definitely worth it! The photos posted are around the parking area. I forgot to take pics along the trail. I'll allow you the surprise!

A must see destination to explore if you're visiting St. Vincent! Tim has designed a spectacular and layered botanical oasis with stunning colours to capture as part of your Caribbean memories.
