About Andromeda Botanic Gardens
Andromeda is celebrating 70 years. The garden calls itself an organic sanctuary for native wildlife, uncaged fauna and indigenous biodiversity, planted with nectar-rich flowers for butterflies. There are guided and themed tours, an ethnobotanical garden, the Infinity Deck, the Wildlight Café and Lounge and a gift shop, and the garden explains why the island’s green monkeys, which are not native, come visiting.
