Andromeda Botantic Gardens
Found in the parish of St Joseph, this 6 acre garden contains serveral varieties of orchids, palms, ferms, heliconia, hibiscus, bourgainvillea, begonias and cacti.
The beautiful and exotic flowers and trees are complemented by a lovely stream which bisects the land and forms enchanting pools and waterfalls. The name Andromeda is derived from the mythical Greek goddess who was turned into rock.
Work of the Garden was stared in 1954 by Mrs. Iris Bannochie, a local horticulturist. At her death, Mrs. Bannochie bequeathed Andromeda to the Barbados National Trust, which now runs the Garden.
