When we stop at the Garden of the Groves, you will delight in the winding trails through lush vegetation, cascading waterfalls and sparkling fountains. See the amazing chapel, which has been consecrated and is a great choice for weddings in the Bahamas as well as a prayer and meditation. Explore the Garden Shoppes and discover the sacred beauty of the Labyrinth. Throughout our time here you will love the birds and butterflies, it has been certified Wildlife Habitat by the U.S. Wildlife Federation. This means the new operators are providing the four basic habitat elements needed for wildlife to thrive: food, water, cover, and places to raise young. You can take a walk down into the cool fern grove and admire the imposing limestone boulders that tower over both sides of the trail, or relax on the "Lofty Fig" deck, where you will have the opportunity to purchase local delicacies and cool Bahamian drinks.
