Well known for its beaches, the Seychelles also houses the century old Botanical Gardens. Dating back to colonial times, the Botanical Gardens were then erected as an experimental garden for diverse crop species. The once experimental garden has now turned to a garden visited by many. The Botanical Garden today also acts as a representation of the island’s ecosystem. Many visitors who make their way to glamorous Seychelles prefer to opt for a fine hotel Seychelles can offer like the Berjaya Beau Vallon Bay Resort & Casino.
Spreading across 6 hectares of natural vegetation, the garden provides its visitors access to exotic native plants which were the collection of the founder. The Botanical Gardens carry out conservation as well as medicinal and re-introduction programmes so as to preserve the ‘eco-charms’ of the country. The gardens see hundreds of visitors crowding to view the collection of very rare and interesting plants. When you do get to the Botanical Gardens you are offered guided tours making certain that every visitor is fully informed of the plant life within the compound. It also provides educational programmes for students which includes an international Diploma in Botanical Garden Education. The site also receives an annual rainfall of 2000mm. The Botanical Gardens is one which every visitor would enjoy visiting.
