Bamboo Avenue or Holland Bamboo, St. Elizabeth, 1903
The three-mile long bamboo grove, located bewteen Lacovia and Middle Quarters is quite a photogenic scene and is also a famous tourist attraction. It features an archway of bamboo growing up to 40ft in length, which lines both sides of the roadway, and meet in the air to form a canopy.
The bamboo plants were planted by owners of the Holland Estate in the 17th century to provide shade for workers from the St. Elizabeth sun.
