	Island Gardens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Island Gardens is a public park located at the southern end of the Isle of Dogs - hence the name 'Island' - in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets on the north bank of the River Thames.
		This opened in 1987 as the southern terminus of the DLR's initial system, and was an elevated terminal station situated to the west of the park.
		The later construction of the DLR extension to Lewisham involved a tunnel under the Thames, and Island Gardens station was relocated approximately 100 m north, close to the northern entrance to the tunnel by Millwall Park.

	Garnish Island - West Cork - Ireland
		The gardens of Ilnacullin owe their existence to the creative partnership, some seventy years ago, of Anna Bryce, then owner of the island and Harold Peto, architect and garden designer.
		The alternative name Ilnacullin or Illaunacullin (island of holly) also has a long history in the locality, and appears on at least one early map; it may in fact be the older name for the island.
		As there is another island garden called Garnish not far away in County Kerry, there is much to be said for using the distinctive name Ilnacullin for the island garden at Glengarriff, County Cork, and this has been the practice of the Office of Public Works for some years now.

	Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens: Aruba Island Rattlesnake
		The Aruba Island rattlesnake, also called the Arubian cascabel, is one of the rarest rattlesnakes in the world.
		In past centuries, much of the island’s trees were cut down for charcoal and firewood, and some land was used for aloe cultivation.
		Other areas of research are artificial insemination in these snakes, determining whether female snakes can retain sperm from one season to the next (which could confuse parentage and thus studbook records), and determining whether "soft releases" of captive or nuisance snakes prior to release onto Aruba increases survivorship.
