Since 1937, Ardastra Gardens has blossomed under The Jamican Botanist, Hedley Edwards. He was the one who imported the Flamingos from Inagua Bahamas, in the 1950's and trained them to march to his spoken commands.
The Zoo was developed by a local Bahamian in the early 1980's and it became a Conservation Center in the early 1990's.
Many of the animals living here are from the Bahamas, but also from around the world. The Iguanas, Bahamian Boa are highly endangered.
The garden is home to not only many assorted trees and plants, but to animals and insects.
When you visit this zoo and garden, you don't only see wildlife and plants, but also a part of your admission fee goes to preserve and breed these endangered species.
