Flora & Fauna
Flora
The ‘Spice Isle’ is covered with a mantle of green, from its sea level mangroves, up through pastures and plantation and dry Caribbean forest, to mountainous, rain forested heights. The island has a fantastic array of tropical plants, from the orange-red immortelle trees to cultivated orchids in specialist collections. The island is particularly fertile for certain types of plant, notably herbs and certain tropical spices.

Grenadians use their fertile volcanic soil to create superb gardens and the Grenadian team has been successful over the years at winning numerous gold and silver medals at the Chelsea Flower Show in London. There are many tropical gardens that are open to the public in particular Sunnyside, Bay Gardens, The Tower and Balthazar Estate.
Fauna
Characteristic wildlife includes the hummingbird, egret, dove, and wild pigeon; also to be found are armadillo, agouti, and monkeys.
