Hunte's Gardens

Hunte's Gardens is a botanical park and popular tourist destination in central Barbados' St Joseph area. Anthony Hunte, horticulture, produced it in the 1950s in an odd sink-hole-like gully. It has a noteworthy reproduction of a Caribbean jungle as well as an internationally significant plant collection. It is also the result of Anthony Hunte's vision and years of hard labor in producing this beauty.

This beautiful 3-acre garden is overflowing with towering royal palms, bromeliads, anthuriums, ginger plants, and a wealth of other colorful tropical plants. The gardens are set in a ravine on the island and are built out on tiered slopes with staircases and winding paths flowing through the verdant surroundings. Shaded and open sunny environments support a diverse range of species, from massive palms to uncommon and exotic plants. Hunte's Gardens is frequented by birds and animals. If you're traveling with a pet, they're welcome as long as they're on a leash.
