The Heritage Garden
is intended to showcase the plants that played an important role
in Cayman’s history. The displays include grounds,
or areas where root crops and
vegetables would be cultivated; the economically important Silver
Thatch Palm
/ Coccothrinax proctorii; and the medicinal garden with the
types of plants Caymanians
used to treat various ailments. In the heritage vein, an old
Caymanian house, circa 1900, owned by Julius Rankine from East End,
Grand Cayman, was brought to the Park and restored, and a sand garden
was developed around the house showing the traditional ornamental
plants of that setting. There is also a collection of the
traditional fruit trees. |
