This is mostly a picture post. There was just WAAAY too much information on this botanical garden tour to repeat in a blog post. I will just say the tour was not expensive…I can’t remember if I paid $800 or $1200 JMD but either way, cheap. Here are some of the fabulous things we saw in there.
The walking tour took about 1.5 hours with a guide, Vincent, who seems to know EVERYTHING about everything in this garden, and he had a great sense of humor too.
The guide also informed us that this is a very popular venue for weddings. There was a lot of open yard space, waterfalls, gazebo, swimming pool, etc. Perfect for a wedding party. And a spectacular view of Ocho Rios!
I’m not really a garden kinda girl and I went up here for my mom’s benefit, but at the end of the tour I didn’t regret it at all. It was well worth the admission fee and we even tipped our tour guide quite nicely.
If you’re going to head up to Shaw Park you should charter a taxi and not pay more than $800 JMD for 2 people to go up. If you’d rather not look for a ride you can call DR BELL and he’ll get you there.
