Palm Grove Gardens
Palm Grove Garden is actually a private property but its owner, Sir David Gibbons, graciously opens it to the public Monday through Thursday (09:00 – 17:00). Sir David is a former Premier and a member of the prominent Gibbons family, owners of the Gibbons Company department store.
As its name suggests the large garden is home to a variety of palms. Throughout the grounds you will see endemic Bermuda palmettos and invasive species such as European fan, Fiji and Cuban royal palms. You will also see a delightful wishing well, a romantic moongate and an aviary housing parrots and toucans. The garden however, is most noted for its unique pond which features a grassy relief of Bermuda at its centre. Sir David allows wedding ceremonies to be conducted in the garden, provided that the party is small (9 people maximum).
Palm Grove Garden is located on the South Road in Devonshire Parish. From Hamilton it is the next turning on the right after the entrance to the Ariel Sands hotel.
