Hunte's Gardens
A tropical garden created by horticulturist Anthony Hunte in a sinkhole, with winding paths, classical music and constant birdsong.
Hunte's Gardens lies in a deep limestone sinkhole in the central parish of St. Joseph. Starting in the 2000s, horticulturist Anthony Hunte transformed it into tiered tropical gardens planted with palms, bromeliads, heliconias and orchids. Seats and sculptures are set among the trees, and classical music plays through the grounds. The owner often greets visitors in person. The steps are steep, so wear non-slip shoes. It is about a 10-minute drive from Harrison's Cave, and there is an admission fee.
