Spend a morning here between beach days. Entry is free and every tree and shrub is labelled, so you learn the hibiscus, frangipani and banyans you see all over the island.

Visiting

John Lennon walked here in 1980 and named his album Double Fantasy after a freesia he found in the beds. Look for the enormous ficus, the orchid greenhouse and the cacti.

Picnic tables are spread through the grounds, so bring lunch. Or eat at the Botanist Café in the Masterworks building and see the museum the same morning.

Know before you goThe Annual Agricultural Exhibition takes over the grounds for three days each April, and those are the only days the gardens charge for entry.
