This botanical garden displays the island's flora in a formal setting. Artfully planted trees and flowering shrubs such as hibiscus, bougainvillea and oleander vie with the many species of ferns. Guided tours are offered along trails that lead past a waterfall. It's said that a cutting from the park's Jamaican sword fern was taken to Boston in 1793 and crossbred to yield the Boston fern. The coastal panoramas from the viewing points are a bonus. Daily 8 am-5 pm. US$10. Shaw Park Road (off Milford Road), Ocho Rios. Phone 876-974-2723. http://www.shawparkgardens.com.
