If you want to feel like you’re in another place without going far, you must see this eco-park!
The St. Kitts Eco-Park is an excellent place to visit if you are interested in greenhouses and, most especially, plants!
The park has a vast garden that gives the best views for everyone.
It is located in the village of Sandy Point on the island of Saint Kitts.
Moreover, the eco-park was funded by Taiwan. Its primary mission was to educate young people living on the island about agriculture, horticulture, and how to take care of them sustainably.
Furthermore, all of the structures around the park have 5 times as many fibers in glass fiber-reinforced cement as there are in normal concrete, making it more durable and lightweight.
It is the largest greenhouse in the Caribbean thanks to its height of 24 meters and its surface area of 14,000 square feet.
Also, it is home to a diverse assortment of flora, including native flowering plants, orchids that attract butterflies, and lovely roses.
Meanwhile, there are tropical fruit trees abound in this park, and the fruit is sold to the locals for a small profit.
Overall, the Eco-Park is home to a fascinating plant-based maze that takes the form of two different maps: one of St. Kitts and one of Taiwan. It’s easy to see why the locals refer to this park as “Little Taiwan.”
This Taiwan-funded greenhouse and garden complex showcases local flora but also serves as a place to teach young locals about sustainable horticulture and agriculture.
Fun factor: the labyrinths are shaped like Taiwan and St Kitts. There are nice views over to Saba and Sint Eustatius.
