Flower Forest Botanical Gardens is a horticultural park and tourist attraction near the village of Bloomsbury, Saint Joseph, in Barbados.
The 50-acre (200,000 m2) property was formerly a sugar plantation, Richmond Plantation. Richmond Plantation was redeveloped in the 1980s to become a botanical and tourism resource. The gardens were purchased from the founding shareholders in 2009 and continue to be a sustainable agricultural development. In 2019, Flower Forest employed 4 full-time gardeners and 2 pavilion staff members. It is the largest garden in Barbados. There is a Pavilion which acts as the reception area, restaurant and souvenir shop.
Collections of heliconias, ginger lilies, bromeliads, anthurium lilies, and other tropical flowers presently provide a flowering base underneath tall, indigenous Caribbean Royal palms, which grow wild in the Scotland District of Barbados.
Also for sale is an additional 5 farm lands of 23 acres, which adjoin the Flower Forest lands. A prime opportunity to expand or farm agricultural.
The Flower Forest is indeed a treasure and a must-see to appreciate the vast lands for development.
