Описание: In this video, I'm driving to the Botanical Gardens of Dominica. The Botanical Gardens were established when Dominica was still a colony in the British Empire. The Crown Government began planning the gardens in 1889, with the goal of encouraging crop diversification and to provide farmers with correctly propagated seedlings. Formerly a sugar plantation within the Bath Estate, it was sold to the government in 1891 by its owner, William Davies. The garden is now forty acres including orchid trees, bottle palms, the Carib Wood tree and an unidentifiable no-name tree. Once known as one of the finest Botanical Gardens in the region, it was severely damaged by Hurricane David in 1979. Following restoration efforts, it remains a focus of cultural life in Roseau, and a center of conservation research on Dominica. One of the trees, a gigantic African baobab tree, fell and crushed an empty school bus; the tree and bus still remain as a relic of the destruction within the gardens and many plants have since been restored.
