Nature
St. George Village Botanical Garden is a 16-acre botanical garden and arboretum on St. Croix that unites horticulture with the island’s plantation history through restored buildings and sugar factory ruins from a 19th-century Danish sugarcane estate. It contains more than 1,500 native and exotic plant species and varieties, including extensive collections of palms, orchids, bromeliads, cactus, and succulents. Conservation is central to its work, with rare and endangered plants from the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, including the St. Croix endemic Agave eggersiana, as well as a native arboretum intended to support reintroduction. The garden also serves as a research and educational center through its herbarium, library, and exhibits on Caribbean plant use and ethno-botanical history.
