Friends of the Society, gift giving.

Layout 1The long-established Antigua & Barbuda Horticultural Society is now launching a campaign to develop an exciting new base for its activities.

This is The Antigua Agave Garden, strategically located on land donated by the Government on Friar’s Hill Road.   The land has been cleared and recently fenced.  Plans for the development of a beautiful botanic garden for Antigua are underway. This will be beneficial for the residents of Antigua and become a new tourist attraction for our visitors.

While the Horticultural Society has events throughout the year to raise funds, a project of this nature needs serious financing.

Therefore it has been decided to launch “The Friends of Antigua’s Agave Gardens” to attract the many people who have no time to spare to become members of the Society but who are interested in Antigua’s Horticultural life.

To become a “Friend” there is a range of annual membership subscription fees as follows: Donate on line info@antiguahorticulture.com or checks to

 Pensioner:  $50.00

Friends will receive an e-mailed newsletter every quarter giving details of upcoming events, useful seasonal tips and news of horticultural activities on the island.      In addition there will be a 50% discount on entrance to the Garden and for all events, and for plants, etc., bought from the Horticultural Society.

  Our plan is to have beautiful sustainable gardens, a botanical shop and library, gifts, useful garden accessories and a small refreshment area.

Donations will be gratefully received, whether very small amounts, a very special tree or plant, or entire projects which will bear the name of the donor, such as a bench, a water feature, pond, specific gardens, an aviary.IMG_1622
