Stroll the J.R. O’Neal Botanical Garden

Located in Road Town, this lush four-acre tropical flora and fauna sanctuary is a respite from the city. The gardens were named after Joseph Reynold O’Neal, a key person in the creation of the National Parks Trust and the first conservationist in the British Virgin Islands. You’ll enter through the avenue of palms and be enchanted by the park’s fountain and flower-adorned pergolas. Other highlights include exotic and native plants like orchids, lilies, and a miniature rainforest. Explore the pond, waterfall, tropical birdhouses, and nursery gardens housing endangered species of flora and fauna. You might even come across some land tortoises during your visit, too.
