Exotic native and imported trees on display at Botanic Park
Go for the blue iguanas. Stay for the exotic trees.
The Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park has developed a reputation as the best place for residents and tourists alike to see Cayman’s endangered population of blue iguanas. But while the iguanas are sometimes hard to see, a wide variety of interesting trees are standing in plain sight.
Stuart Mailer, the environmental programs manager for the National Trust, has a number of personal favorites in the Botanic Park that tell the story of Cayman’s history. Some of the trees have been imported from around the world, but others have played a key role in Cayman’s development.
One of Mr. Mailer’s favorites, a rainbow gum, stands directly in front of the Botanic Park’s visitor center. The rainbow gum is a tall and fragrant species of eucalyptus that originates in the Philippines and from other countries in that region, and it lends a bit of exotic beauty to the Botanic Park
“It’s exceedingly fast-growing, but what’s most striking about this tree is that the bark peels away revealing different colors,” said Mr. Mailer. “The underlying fresh bark is green, so when a strip peels off you get a green effect. Over time, that changes color to blue to purple and eventually to brick red.” Read the full story at caymancompass.com.
Queen Elizabeth Park Walkabout
The rock taken from this quarry was used at the turn of the 20th century to build Vancouvers first roads. By 1911 the quarry had closed and sat as an unused eyesore for 3 decades. It was named Queen Elizabeth Park in 1939 after a visit by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (Queen Elizabeth II's mother). In the 1940's the Vancouver Parks Board began to incrementally transform the overgrown hillsides into a civic arboretum.
I filmed this with my wonky cell phone so it made for a bumpy ride. I couldn't see what I was filming from the glare on the screen but managed to get things somewhat centered. I started with just ambient sounds from the park but someone decided to throw a party/reception at the foot of the park and had a DJ squawking on a loudspeaker so I ended up adding music: James Horner, from The New World soundtrack - Of the Forest.

Work begins on Botanic Park Children’s Garden
The Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park has started construction of the Rotary Education Centre on the site of its newest attraction, the Children’s Garden.
Construction is expected to be completed in about 12 weeks. The building is the first phase of the project, which is scheduled to be finished next year.
The educational facility is the result of a combined effort of all the Rotary Clubs in the Cayman Islands. “This project is a great display of community partnership,” said the park’s general manager, John Lawrus.
“We are grateful for the Rotary Clubs joining forces to positively impact environmental education for our youth and beyond,” he added.
The Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park is managed by the Tourism Attraction Board. The board’s director, Patrick Thompson, said in a press release, “I am delighted with the progress that we have made thus far. The private sector has consistently contributed to this project and we sincerely appreciate their support.” Read the full story at caymancompass.com.
George Town - Cayman Islands
Grand Cayman - Cayman Islands
The Cayman Islands are an autonomous British Overseas Territory in the western Caribbean Sea. The 264-square-kilometre territory comprises the three islands of Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman, which are located to the south of Cuba and northeast of Honduras, between Jamaica and Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. As of spring 2018, the population of the Cayman Islands was estimated to be 64,420 making it the second-most populated British overseas territory after Bermuda. The capital city is George Town, situated on Grand Cayman, by far the most populous of the three islands.
Grand Cayman is the largest of the three Cayman Islands and the location of the territory's capital, George Town. In relation to the other two Cayman Islands, it is approximately 75 miles (121 km) southwest of Little Cayman and 90 miles (145 km) southwest of Cayman Brac.
Grand Cayman Island has a number of natural attractions: the blow holes in the East End district, the Mastic Trail that runs north to south through the center of the island, Hell in the West Bay, and the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park.
Watersports such as scuba diving and snorkeling are popular activities on Grand Cayman as the island is known for its coral reefs and underwater sea walls along with a number of shipwrecks.
Because of its clubs, resorts, and hotels, Seven Mile Beach has the largest concentration of visitors and tourists on the island.
There are just under 600 banks and trust companies in the Grand Cayman, including 43 of the 50 largest banks in the world.[8] Because of this large financial presence on the island, banking, investments, and insurance drive the economy in Grand Cayman.[
