Located on Highway 3B, between Gun Hill and St.John's Church, in the heart of the Barbadian countryside this six acre farm is surrounded by sugarcane. On an elevation of 810 feet a number of vantage points allow the visitors to take in the view.
Visitors can take a self guided tour past a waterfall along the well landscaped meandering path and through five orchid houses. The trees are also to be watched carefully for orchids such as Schomburgkia will bloom once a year in a spectacular fashion. All the corners of the orchid world show us new and different floral delights.
Orchids like Vandas, Phalaenopsis, Calanthes, Cattlyeas, Ascocendas and Dendrobiums are found everywhere. ‘rain forest’ orchids are displayed in an environment meant to be a simulation, an eye catching display wherein the orchids seem to hang in mid-air with the orchids’ roots completely free of soil.
The entire area is quite calm and serene and the sound of burbling water and that of the wind rustling through the nearby sugar cane or the twitter of birds. The scent of the orchid fills the air along with the rich colors and shapes.
The orchid world is a feast for the eyes. The wedding gazebo located on the best vantage point offers visitors a calm, colorful option to get married.
