Hello BHS Family, Friends and Plant Lovers Alike,
We had to make some changes to our Open Garden Schedule for 2023 because as you know, greatness takes time. However, we are now ready for you with four beautiful gardens that their owners have so graciously agreed to open to the public.
Come join us as we peruse these tropical beauties that epitomise all that Barbados has to offer. All gardens will be open on the specified Sundays only, from 2:00-6:00 p.m. Admission: $10.00 for BHS Members, $15.00 for Non-Members and FREE for Children under 12 years old. Teas and refreshments will also be on sale.
We look forward to seeing you!
We would like to come to the open garden on Feb 26. Could you let me have directions on how to get to the Landis house. Many thanks.
Good morning! Thank you for your interest. We will post the directions to each house a bit closer to the date. Please check back here or our Facebook or Instagram pages.
A google map link would be great and it’s quick and easy to do
Good afternoon,
Please see below for directions:
DIRECTIONS TO THE LANDIS GARDEN
From the Norman Niles roundabout on the ABC Highway follow Highway 4, pass Bulkeley factory and at Turnpike, fork right on to Highway 4B. Pass Buttals, go past Brighton Farmers’ Market and continue past Rolling Hills. Turn left at the sign “Kendal via Featherbed Lane” and follow the road up the hill. Continue on this road until you see the yellow BHS Open Garden sign at the junction leading to the garden. A parking attendant will direct parking at the church and after a short walk down the unpaved road you will arrive at the gates of Edencrest.
OR
From the roundabout at Six Roads take the exit to Sunbury Great House and St Philip’s Parish Church. At the church turn left, go through the village then turn right on to Highway 4B opposite Chapel Plantation. Immediately after Halton Great House turn right at the sign “Kendal via Featherbed Lane” and follow the road up the hill. Continue on this road until you see the yellow BHS Open Garden sign at the junction leading to the garden and at the Church, a parking attendant will direct parking and direct you to the garden.
What a pity! We come to Barbados every year for most of the month of February and love our visits to your wonderful gardens. However we will be leaving on 26th February and unfortunately this year the first one open will be on this date!
We will be back next year and hopefully you will be able to open a few more in February. It’s very kind of your members to open their gardens and I can assure you that it is much appreciated by visitors to the island.
Please confirm that this Sunday’s February 26 open garden programme will be held at Edencrest. And if yes, please send directions. I am staying at the Crane. Thank you
Good afternoon,
