Shared from original post by J Davison Shillingford per the above website on October 24, 2016.
DominicaGardens.com is designed to preserve the several sub-sites hosted by the old Dominica Academy of Arts and Sciences (DAAS) that need regular updating and refreshing. Raglan Riviere was the main architect of the DAAS website. With his passing, write-access to that website for updating purposes was lost, and updating ceased. The Dominica Botanic Gardens website was the primary subsite that needed updating, an informative and beauty-packed gem that attracted viewers from around the world. Other subsites included the DAAS Honorees, the Dominica Island Scholars, and the Historical Cabinet Photos. All of these subsites required regular updating and refreshing, for which I was responsible.
This site is named www.dominicagardens.com because the feature of primary interest was the Dominica Botanic Gardens website. Other sub-sites, as named above, also require regular updating and refreshing, and we have included them under this new site for convenience.
| The objectives of this website are: To preserve, update, and continually freshen these very beautiful and informative sub-sites;To provide a source of historical information on the Botanic Gardens, Island Scholars, and the Dominica Cabinets;To make these sites available free of charge to the public at large, at home and abroad; andTo maintain this site as a tribute to Raglan Riviere and his commitment to Dominica’s development.
