Countryside jaunt.......Hunte's Gardens part 1

Anthuriums growing effortlessly amongst ferns.

 The tinkling sound of falling water led me to this beautiful fountain.

Flowering  ornamental bananas illuminating the green foliage.

  My other two partners in crime Dawn and Virginia giving me the royal wave.

We continued into  to the beautiful parish of St. Joseph,  where we stopped to visit Anthony Hunte's tropical paradise. For anyone touring the island this place is a must. For you all Bajans,  there is no excuse whatsoever not to visit. Anthony a local horticulturist, garden designer and a pioneer nurseryman, created this awesome garden on his property. Its gully location was perfect for this garden. He had spent many years preparing and designing this masterpiece. 

The garden consists of  a myriad of nooks and crannies at the upper level with a stairway leading to the gully at the bottom; all carefully designed to feel as natural as possible.

Whimsical figures, fairy houses and ornaments all carefully placed, lured me into a world of fantasy. I am sure that if you look closely in the undergrowth, you would see fairies and elves going about their daily chores.
