Pieces of the Past:
A Stroll Down Jamaica’s Memory Lane
The Bath Botanic Gardens
The Bath Botanic Gardens was the second botanical gardens to be developed in the western hemisphere.
The garden was stocked with Chinese and Japanese herbs and exotic fruit trees, including the
breadfruits and otaheite apple brought by Captain Bligh. The croton, jacaranda and bougainvillea
were also first planted at Bath.
Hope Gardens
The 200 acres of Hope Estate land that eventually became Hope Gardens in the
late 1870s - early 1880s, includes a Palm Avenue where sago palms are among the
oldest living trees, a cacti garden, a bougainvillea walk, a maze, a forest, and lily
pond. When Queen Elizabeth II came to Jamaica in 1953, the gardens were officially
renamed the Royal Botanical Gardens.
