Topic: Botanic Park

Recently, we embarked on two nature-filled adventures that allowed our children to experience the wild beauty of Grand Cayman up close: A visit to the Cayman Parrot Sanctuary in East End and a day at The Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park.

A Grammatophyllum speciosum, believed to be the largest species of orchid in the world, is flowering at the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park.

If you every come across a manchineel tree, do not eat it, touch it, stand under it, or even look at it.

When Queen Elizabeth II opened Grand Cayman’s Botanic Park in 1994, only the Woodland Trail was complete, but new gardens and areas have been opening up ever since. This week saw the park break ground on a new Children’s Garden. “The garden is a place for children to play and learn."

Orchids are considered to be some of the most beautiful flowers in the world. In fact, the Cayman Islands’ national flower is the wild banana orchid. Every year, orchid enthusiasts, amateur gardeners, and those just keen to learn what all the fuss is about, head to the QEII Botanic Park in Frank Sound for the Annual Orchid Show.

Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park on Frank Sound Road holds its plant sale on Saturday, its first fundraiser of the year. This year’s assortment of more than 500 plants, which have been propagated at the garden’s nursery, includes ground covers, vines, flowering shrubs and small trees.

A new project planned for the Botanic Park has Cayman’s young people firmly at heart. Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park’s proposed Children’s Garden will be located close to the visitor center, allowing for quick and easy admission

One of Grand Cayman’s more popular tourist attractions is exhibiting its “fall” appearance.

We can think of no better place to visit for Earth Day than the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park in North Side.

Whether you are an avid gardener looking for advice on how to make the most of growing orchids at home, or if you just want to view the beautiful selection of orchids at the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park, this weekend’s Orchid Show is a fantastic opportunity to do both. Visitors can also buy their favorite variety to take home.
