Ginormous Thanks to Judy and everyone at BBG for a most enjoyable stay. This place is truly magical what with such a vast array of tropical flora and fauna in a beautiful location. I learned so much during my time there studying medicinal and edible plants plus many of the other components that go into growing and maintaining a successful garden. Rudy as my guide explained things to me in a very thorough, precise and down to earth kind of way. When Ken & Judy acquired this land in 1993 it was just cow pasture and with their labor of love plus lots of dedicated help have transformed it into a slice of heaven right here on earth.

My mom and I went for a visit to the Belize Botanical Gardens and we were so impressed. We were greeted by Roxi upon arrival who made us feel so welcome and set us up with a guided tour.

The grounds are laid out well showing one the different plants of Belize and elsewhere. The guides are very friendly and informative. The view from the Fire Tower is great. Birders will not be disappointed either.
