Botanical Gardens
Bahamas
The Botanical Gardens - an 18-acre oasis featuring over 600 species of tropical flora.
Nature lovers don't have to venture far from the centre of Nassau to experience one of the island's most calming green spaces.
Founded on the country's first day of independence, 10 July, 1973, the gardens feature some of the country's most beloved flowers, including the Yellow Elder tree which sprouts clusters of sunny and vibrant yellow bell-shaped blossom.
Popular with locals as a venue for weddings, parties, concerts, and events, the reserve has seen some of the country's most important occasions, including the annual cultural festival - a yearly fair celebrating the nation's diversity with food, drinks, music, and dancing.
Guests are welcome to visit during normal operating hours - 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday to Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Saturday to Sunday. When the retreat isn't hosting celebrations, admission is $3.00 for adults and $1.50 for children under 12.
