Flower Forest is located in the Parish of St Thomas and was once the site of a sugar plantation known as Richmond Plantation and the surrounding area is still know as Richmond today. It is 850 feet or 270 meters above sea level.
Flower Forest opened in December 1983 and suffered considerable damage in a fire in 1990. A new reception was constructed at that time. In the reception one can view a mural depicting several aspects of life in Barbados. These include a Sugar Mill & Chattel Houses. Also in the reception you can see the copper taiches (sugar boiling vats) that ties to the properties days of being a sugar plantation.
