How does your garden grow? Nevis!

When I lived in the Caribbean, one of my greatest joys was discovering the incredible flora and fauna across the islands. My own Bonaire garden was filled with beauty, plumeria, hibiscus, and oleander but my absolute favorite was the ginger plant. Its vivid red blooms brought endless delight, not just to me but to the hummingbirds that visited daily.

Even now, when I travel, I find myself drawn to flowers wherever I go. My partner and I often visit Bermuda, where we love scootering around the island. Every time we pass hedges of fragrant gardenias, we can’t help but squeal with delight.

Many Caribbean islands boast stunning botanical gardens, each worth a visit. Barbados, for instance, has several that shouldn’t be missed; Hunte’s Gardens is a true gem. And on Nevis, a visit to the Nevis Botanical Gardens is essential. I once spent half a day there in complete bliss.

The Nevis Botanical Gardens are pure magic; an enchanting landscape of tranquil ponds, elegant sculptures, and serene spaces that invite you to slow down and simply be. Each winding path reveals breathtaking plants and towering trees, creating a peaceful escape at every turn. Arguably one of the most beautiful gardens in the Caribbean, it’s a place to breathe deeply, reconnect with nature, and feel restored.

Let me help you curate your own journey to Nevis—truly one of the Caribbean’s hidden gems.
