 The Andromeda Botanical Gardens, found in the parish of
St.Joseph, is a six-acre garden containing several varieties
of orchids, palms, ferns, heliconia, hibiscus, bougainvillea,
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 chained to a rock.
Work on the Garden was started 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.
 
 If you enjoy a trip to Andromeda Gardens, be sure to also
stop by The
Flower Forest.
