Ins & Outs of Grenada

SIGHTSEEING  57 INS Annandale Falls Just 15 minutes drive from St George’s, this 30 foot waterfall plunges into a large pool where you can take a swim and watch the antics of brave cliff divers. Set in lush tropical gardens, the falls are only a two minute walk from the visitors’ centre, making it the most accessible of Grenada’s waterfalls. Smithy’s Gardens Just a mile from historic Fort Frederick, this private garden is filled with beautiful fruit and spice trees, and tropical flowers. Owner and avid flower arranger Anne will delight in sharing her garden with you. Orchids from Smithy’s Garden add to the variety displayed at the annual RHS Chelsea display, where the Grenada Display has achieved a total of 15 gold medals which are highly coveted by exhibitors.
