Over the years, the property became synonymous with memorable events especially weddings. However, founder and owner, Hon. Dr. Henry I. C. Lowe, whose life mission is to categorize and employ programs across the Jamaican Diasporas that will assist and ensure the continuous development in the health, as well as environmental and educational sectors, wanted Eden Gardens to return to the original vision – a premier health and wellness facility pioneering the efforts to develop health tourism in the Caribbean.
Hence, in spite of the heavy traffic of events and in-demand service providers, the decision was taken to temporarily cease full scale operations to facilitate the renovation process.
The renovation of Eden Gardens has unfolded according to the original vision and plan under the direction of a team of talented and passionate personnel to include the management team under the creative direction of Natalie Sasso, and will be officially re-opening its doors in fall 2013. The reopening plans include a grand affair set to showcase the high quality and diverse offerings which will hopefully attract a local and international crowd seeking out the ultimate wellness and lifestyle experience. The Eden Gardens team is also big on providing exceptional customer service is focused on ensuring the delivery of a special experience patrons will remember for decades to come.
The philosophy behind the one of a kind health and wellness centre is based on Dr. Lowe’s recognition and acknowledgement of the natural laws of synergy and balance as the footing for human fulfillment and satisfaction. The innovation mission of the centre is to provide health and wellness goods and services to all their visitors that will allow them to achieve balance between their minds, body and soul and subsequently their lives. EDEN GARDENS will provide a haven for those who are trying to escape the difficult demands of everyday life.
