I received a message in early November last year when Tropical Storm Eta was headed straight toward Grand Cayman and we on the Dart horticultural team were all bracing for impact. This message, however, was bright and cheerful: Dart's Annika Martins asked if I would be interested in helping put together a book containing some of the articles I had written for the "Camana Bay Times" over the past four years ... a book!
Once presumed extinct, the critically endangered Cayman sage, Salvia caymanensis, now has a home at Camana Bay. More than 80 plants are being placed in flower beds adjacent to the Foster’s flagship store by a joint team from Dart and the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park, which partnered to make the planting project come to life.
César Chávez Park has a dirty little secret. The 90-acre public city park in Berkeley, California, that provides panoramic views of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge, and offers paved hiking trails, a picnic area, a dog park and a wildlife sanctuary is ... a former landfill.
As the George Town Landfill takes its first steps towards a greener future — both figuratively and literally — with its ongoing remediation, Grand Cayman residents can look forward to a day when walking paths grace its landscaped hillside.
In many ways, the Cayman Islands is enjoying the rewards of its efforts to suppress the local transmission of COVID-19. Though the country still faces the challenges created by the loss of tourism, there is undoubtedly one sub-group benefiting from relaxed restrictions: students.
Health City Cayman Islands has announced plans to build a $100 million hospital, specialising in cancer and neonatal intensive care, in Camana Bay. In agreement with Dart, the medical facility will be called Health City Camana Bay. The new hospital is expected to be completed within two years. It will be located to the south of the recently-expanded Cayman International School, at the intersection of the Esterley Tibbetts Highway and the new Airport Connector Road.
This week, Dart submitted an application to the Central Planning Authority for a planned area development (PAD) encompassing a mixed-use, resort and residential neighbourhood on either side of the Esterley Tibbetts Highway between Governor’s Harbour and Salt Creek.
