DE LA GRENADE NUTMEG GARDEN
A stroll through the lush garden surrounding the De La Grenade factory reveals a cornucopia of plant life from which the factory's signature jams, pepper jelly, nutmeg syrup, liqueur, seasonings, and sauces are made.  

The meandering nutmeg-shell-covered path takes you past a rich variety of spices and culinary and medicinal herbs, as well as a profusion of native flowers, shrubs, and fruit trees, while knowledgeable guides identify the vast array of flora, bringing the garden to life before your eyes and arming with you with a wealth of information on traditional foods and remedies.  

With plenty to scratch 'n sniff in the Nutmeg Garden, you may then make your way to the factory shop to sample and purchase the award-winning finished products.

GEMROSE EDEN
Back-to-back with Laura Herb & Spice Garden in St. David's, this is a hidden private garden that cascades down the side of a hill.  At the top, there's a wall that is stocked with a host of orchids, a bath tub with rather shy fish, roses, and plenty more.

As you progress to the lower region, you come into an ample area of thickly intermingled shady trees (cocoa, mango, carambola, coffee, cashew and plenty of foliage plants).  Among all this, there's a spacious deck where you can catch your breath and enjoy the shade.  Just opposite, there's a little wooden house in which Gemma is collecting memorabilia.

Gemma's is a delightful hybrid of the decorative and the useful: a working fruit and vegetable garden with a dash of heliconia here and there, some anthuriums, some costos ginger, and other bursts of colour.  The house at the top is fringed with bougainvillea, potted cacti, and more colour. Gemma (and her dog) will show you round all this with infectious enthusiasm, and round the visit off with a fruit drink from one of the trees you've just met.
