The Hope Botanical Gardens, also known as the Royal Botanical Gardens, hail back to Jamaica’s colonial past. In 1873, it was established by Major Richard Hope, who was a commander in the British Army. He was given an estate for his part in taking control of Jamaica from the Spanish. The Hope Gardens is spread across 200 acres of land, which was just a small fraction of Major Richard Hope’s estate. It is currently the largest botanical garden in the Caribbean. The Gardens and Zoo are located on Old Hope Rd., which is about 30 minutes from the Norman Manley International Airport, and a few minutes drive from the University of the West Indies. The area is known for having some of the most productive soil in the country, but unfortunately, this area has been used for mostly residential and commercial development.

Use google maps to see the bus routes and schedule.

The wait times and crowding can be an issue for public for buses. I would recommend route, chartered taxis or Uber for getting around.
