The Botanic Gardens in Port of Spain were conceived and instituted by then Governor Sir Ralph Woodford in the early 1800's. I am not sure of the exact year but it would have been around 1818. Incidentally, this apparently makes Trinidad's Botanical Gardens the oldest in continued existence in the Western Hemisphere.

A small plot of land within the Gardens was reserved as a cemetery for the island's Governors and their family and friends with the earliest burial recorded in 1819 — that of William Souper.

Though no new plots are created, you can see that the cemetery is very well maintained. The three crosses shown in this photo mark the graves of (nearest to furthest) John Scott-Bushe, CMG - Colonial Secretary of Trinidad for 29 years (1887); William Rowland Pyne - Governor of Trinidad (1885) and Henry Chantrell - Auditor General of Trinidad for 16 years (1898).
