]]> Cranbrook Flower Forest in St Ann Jamaica is a post from: Jamaica Vacations

I love the natural unspoilt beauty of Jamaica and I visit as many parks, gardens and nature reserves as I can. I much prefer the off beat attractions in Jamaica then I do the more popular attractions such as Dunns Rivers Waterfalls and other well known locations. I prefer hidden gems like Cranbrook Flower Forest on the North Coast of Jamaica in St Ann.

The flower forest is home to the very best in Jamaican foilage and the tropical gardens are some of the finest in country. The variety and number of blooming flowers will simply amaze you and the range of colors is an absolute delight. I was so impressed with the Jade Vine that I use the photo of me before it as my profile picture on my online social profiles. The vivid Jade green colors of this hanging vine are just incredible and even almost unnatural when you consider how rare the shade is in nature. It may well be unique as far as I know. I have never seen such a brilliant green blue color in any other plant.

The lush forest is powered by a riverhead which opens up to the White River and you can enjoy a wonderful swim in the brisk cool mineral spring waters or even hike up the river as it Cranbrook is central to Ocho Rios and Montego Bay and makes an excellent day trip from either city. You would find it closer to Ocho Rios though and a shorter more enjoyable day from this popular tourist city in Jamaica.

Cranbrook Flower Forest is open year round and closed only for major holidays. The grounds are the perfect place for weddings, parties and even a simple picnic. You’ll find yourself in another world and alone with yourself and some close friends or family in one of the most serene and inviting places you can imagine.
