The gardens are really beautiful, and walking around is fun with lots of paths to take. The age of the old sugar mill and all show but have been well preserved and maintained. An abundance of gorgeous flowering plants and shrubs throughout. It's worth the drive and time spent to enjoy this historic sight. FYI- there is a charge per person/donation to enter.

Favorite thing we did on St. Croix!! Staff and volunteers were wonderful and the gardens are beyond amazing. Saw so many plants and birds. The historical exhibits are very well done. This is THE thing to do on the island - do NOT miss it!
