Tulo Valley Plant Nursery Bermuda
Located next to the
Admiralty House property at Spanish Point in Pembroke Bermuda, Tulo Valley Plant Nursery used to be a kitchen garden between 1815 - 1950. This was when the Admirals of the Royal Naval Dockyard used the house as their residence.
Subsequently in 1957, Bermuda Government had taken over this property and Tulo Valley is now part of Bermuda Parks Department. It was converted into a plant nursery mainly for the purpose of experimenting with new plantations and growing some of Bermuda's native and endemic plants. Much of the flowers and plants that you will see at the road circles and other public areas, would have been cultivated at the Tulo Valley.
