Den Paradera

Den Paradera is a medicinal herb garden founded by Dinah Veeris after years spent recording plant knowledge from Curaçao's older generations. Paths run through a dense collection of native and introduced plants used in teas, remedies, cosmetics, and household traditions.

The garden is modest and personal rather than botanical-institution grand. A guided explanation makes far more sense of the plants than wandering alone, so check the current visiting arrangements before driving out.
