Since returning to the US, she's been writing an in-depth guide book about Dominica and was happy to share a little about her experience with us: LAURA: When did you first visit Dominica and how long did you stay? ANNA: I first stepped foot on Dominica as a Peace Corps Volunteer in 2006 and worked as an education volunteer in the village of Grand Bay for two years. Because the island is relatively small and I was there for so long I was able to really spend time and get to know all the different areas of the island, especially the Carib Territory which is one of my all-time favorite places in the world.

The Garden is extremely interesting in its own right - tropical forest, desert vegetation, lots of tropical fruit trees, and an abundance of palm varieties; but it also illustrates what a top flight Botanic Garden, and more particularly a tropical one, can be; and what it can do for a community in terms of jobs and image. The Fairchild Garden is one of the primary attractions for visitors to south Florida.
The Garden is located on 83 acres of generally shallow, alkaline, and sandy soil near Coral Gables, just south Miami, Florida.

It was an unforgettable horticultural and aesthetic experience. In the tropical fruit section, there were numerous species of tropical fruit trees. The World Creole Music Festival Official Website.

High above, I can make out a fragile sliver of moon and the starry cloudiness of the Milky Way. Tall trees stretch upwards into the night, their leaves woven into a dense mesh of shadowy green.
There is the sound of running water from the river down below and a constant chirruping of crickets. The air smells thickly of cinnamon. I am walking through a rainforest in the dead of night, attempting gingerly to weave my way between the pitted tree trunks. While part of me revels in the extraordinary natural scenery, the other, bigger, part of me is terrified that I will slip, break my leg, and lie undiscovered for weeks, pecked at by wild parrots.
In this undignified half-crawl, I eventually reach my destination: a stone hot tub built into the side of the slope. I undress as instructed, shivering briefly in the coolness before sinking into the warm water. And, it must be said, wet. The garden is the life's work of Anne Jno.
