Located on 20 acres of land on the outskirts of the capital, Kingstown, the botanic gardens are the oldest in the Western Hemisphere. Among the wide variety of tropical trees and shrubs are several breadfruit trees from the original plants brough by Captain Bligh (of the Bounty Fame) in 1793. Conservation of rare species of plants has been practiced since the gardens were founded in 1765. Other conservation works involve the captive breeding programme for the endangered St Vincent Parrot (Amazonia Guildingii) which is our national bird

A twin fall experience is extremely uncommon and St Vincent houses two of them. The geology and hydrology giving existence to the falls and the vegetation are also part of the sites Heritage. Lava and pyroclastic flows produced the rock formation and sustain cascading water
