Educational Visits
Andromeda welcomes applications from all students, including those from overseas wishing to gain practical and/or design experience whether that be as a volunteer or as an intern.
Iris Bannochie created a garden with dual roles – a pleasure garden and a botanic garden. Andromeda Botanic Gardens will continue to delight visitors with its undeniable beauty and will fulfil its role as a botanic garden, defined as follows: “Botanic gardens are institutions holding documented collections of living plants for the purposes of scientific research, conservation, display and education.“

Gardeners from the Sandy Lane Hotel, our intern and another course participant are working on their final project for the Planting and Garden Design Course.

Volunteer from University of West Indies
