The World in a Garden

Dear Visitor:

Welcome to Danielle's Garden.

"Peace of mind is a worthy treasure" states the motto as you enter Danielle's Garden. 

Danielle's Garden is situated on the north coast of Jamaica, on land below the residence of the late Ralph Watson Barnett. The garden is styled with a composite statue garden adjoined by 'Sophia', the island on the lake, set in a romantic landscape.

Mr. Barnett was born in 1920. As with the lineage of many Jamaicans, he was the descendant of slaves brought from the West African coast. His father left for Cuba, deserting his mother when he was quite young. Striving was rewarded with financial success and a legacy. Mr. Barnett died in December 1987. The Gardens recall his memory.

Danielle is his granddaughter and Sophia his daughter. The name of the garden was chosen as an obvious link between the generations. The theme of the garden is a portrayed association of all humanity, as complemented by the displayed representative forms from the world's seven continents.

The World Journal is a compilation of papers covering various aspects of art, science, and humanity. These papers, which have been authored by prominent Jamaicans, have been selected for publication here to become A Journal of World Arts, History, Science, and Culture.

Please enjoy your exploration of the Danielle's Garden website and study of our World Journal. As you circle the virtual grounds, may you be reminded of our motto as prominently displayed in our Statue Garden:

"Peace of mind is a worthy treasure."

A worthy project and a treasure of sorts, if you care to take this virtual tour.

Happy to have you visit, and we look forward to seeing you when you actually visit Jamaica.

One Love!

Yours truly,

The next edition of the World Journal intends to publish papers on the following topics:

  1. Issues concerning the Kyoto Treaty

  2. Global warming

  3. Stem cell research

  4. The ethics of bio-technology

  5. The use of plant extracts in pharmacology

Our Editorial Board would give careful consideration for publication of any suitable papers submitted on the foregoing topics.

Interested parties should send e-mail to Journal@DaniellesGarden.org

Sincerely,

Courtenay Barnett, Curator
Danielle's Garden

Danielle's Mission 

Danielle's Garden is a non-profit venture designed to be the funding source for a school for underprivileged children on the North Coast of Jamaica, and more particularly for children resident in the parishes of St. Mary (where Danielle's garden is located, opposite the famous Couples Hotel) and St. Ann (in which parish there is the tourist centre of Ocho Rios and also the well-known Dunns River Falls). As a charitable venture, individual or foundation contributions are appreciated.

Project work on Danielle’s Garden was started in 1988. All major commissioned works of art for Danielle’s Garden were completed in 1991. After a private family opening of garden in 1991, the formal public opening of Danielle's Garden took place in 1992.

Danielle's Garden is a Barnett family venture. The project is intended to accomplish two objectives. First, there is the desire to create a lasting thing of beauty in the Garden, as a small national treasure. Second, Danielle's Garden is intended to be a funding source for a school for the underprivileged in the immediate vicinity. There is much that can be accomplished by utilizing a tourist attraction, such as this, as a funding source in support of a school.
