| Densely forested volcanic mountains overlook Kingstown, capital of the eastern Caribbean nation of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Saint Vincent Island boasts the oldest botanical garden in the Caribbean, established in 1763. The garden’s first breadfruit trees were brought in from the Pacific in 1793 by Captain William Bligh, best known for his role in the HMS Bounty mutiny. | ||||||
