A garden in a hidden gully
About Hunte’s Gardens
Hunte’s Gardens lies in the rural parish of St. Joseph, about 30 minutes from Holetown and St. Lawrence Gap. Once part of a sugar plantation, the gully was a sinkhole until horticulturist Anthony Hunte transformed it into a lush, terraced garden, according to the official tourism site. It opens daily from 10am to 4pm. Its own website is not working, so call before you go.
