Theme. —— HISTORICAL BOTANICAL GARDENS OF PURE GRENADA.

SHORT HISTORY OF THE BOTANICAL GARDENS OF GRENADA

In mid 1886 on the advice of Dr. Daniel Morris of Kew Gardens, England, - St. George’s Grenada was chosen as the site of the establishment of a Botanical Station, as it was then called. It was to be a research tool to improve methods of agriculture through the introduction and cultivation of medicinal, ornamental and economically beneficial plants”. A year later. The Botanical Station , located in Tanteen, St. George’s was opened to the public. At its inception the Botanical Station housed a nursery to propagate many valuable plant species, for many years served as a field experimental and demonstration laboratory for numerous plants.

We felt re-creating a small floral interpretation of the gardens would be of historical interest.
