Flower Forest Botanical Gardens

Flower Forest Botanical Gardens is a premier tourism destination located in the heart of Barbados. Spread across 53 acres of well-preserved, natural landscape, the gardens provide a serene space for tourists and locals alike to enjoy a peaceful respite from city life. Visitors can explore the lush greenery, vibrant flora, and panoramic views of the scenic Scotland District. In addition to guided and self-guided tours, the gardens offer event services for weddings and other special occasions, promising a backdrop of breathtaking beauty.

Established in 1985, Flower Forest Botanical Gardens was the vision of founders David Spieler and Bernard Bourne. Their mission was to create a sanctuary that showcases the island's natural beauty while educating visitors about the diverse tropical flora. Over the years, the gardens have flourished under the careful stewardship of these passionate horticulturists. The result of their dedication is a botanical paradise that has been recognized with several awards for its contribution to Barbados’ tourism sector and its commitment to environmental conservation.

Flower Forest Botanical Gardens holds a unique appeal for tourists visiting Barbados due to its rich biodiversity and tranquil setting. It offers a stark contrast to the bustling beaches and busy markets that are typically associated with Caribbean holidays. The gardens are a sanctuary for hundreds of plant species, many of which are endemic to the island. Visitors can meander through the walking trails, relax by the koi pond, or enjoy a meal at the garden café. Special experiences include the 'Plant Identification Tour', where visitors can learn about the various plant species, and the 'Photo Tour', which offers an opportunity to capture the picturesque beauty of the gardens. With its calming atmosphere and vibrant displays of nature, Flower Forest Botanical Gardens offers a unique and memorable experience for every tourist.
