There are two stunning botanical gardens in St Vincent, the National Botanical Gardens in Kingstown and Montreal Gardens high up in the mountains of Mesopotamia.

Botanical gardens Both are packed with glorious plants, and the tropical climate means that there are always blooms for fragrant, colourful exotic specimens, both indigenous and imported.

The National Botanical Gardens is also historically significant as it was the first ever founded in the western hemisphere.

It includes a breadfruit tree descended from one brought to the islands by Captain Bligh after he survived the mutiny on HMS Bounty.

Botanical Gardens guide Errol Keane talks about its beauty and history...
"The reason I'm so passionate about this place is the beauty; the aroma... You just hear that beautiful song of the birds, and you just relax and enjoy that tranquility."
