J.R. O'Neal Botanical Gardens
The splendid two-hectare (four-acre) gardens in the centre of Road Town are a must for those interested in the tropical flora of the Caribbean islands. Pathways wind beneath floral pergolas, through a mini rainforest and past a lush variety of exotic indigenous plants, waterfalls and ponds. Other attractions include the different tropical bird species and red-legged tortoises that have made the gardens their home. The gardens are maintained and developed as part of the British Virgin Islands' National Parks system.
