On display are some rare, threatened and endangered specimens being grown such as Jamaican Bell Flower, Boxwood, Desert Cassia, a rare Frangipani aka Plumeria and the elusive Puerto Rican Matabuey Tree (Goetzea elegans)

Located on St Croix in the United States Virgin Islands, the St. George Village Botanical Garden is a 16- acre garden situated among the buildings and ruins of an 18th and 19th century sugar cane plantation. This site overlaps an Amerindian settlement which dates back to c.100 A.D.

The Garden’s botanical collections feature over 1,000 varieties of plants that demonstrate the horticultural potential for the U.S. Virgin Islands and emphasize the cultural and historical value of plants as a source of food, medicine, fiber, color dyes, and building material in the Caribbean.
