George Young (died 1803) was a British military surgeon and botanist who served as the first superintendent of the Botanic Gardens St. Vincent in Kingstown, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.[1][2][3] The naturalist John Ellis, in his book Some Additional Observations on the Method of Preserving Seeds from Foreign Parts (London, 1773) described Young as "principal surgeon to the [St. Vincent military] hospital, whose indefatigable zeal in collecting and propagating a variety of the most valuable plants, is known to all the curious botanists about London."[4] Young's noteworthy efforts in cultivating a variety of tropical plants important for the economy of the British colonies was recognized by the Royal Society of Arts in 1774, which awarded him a gold medal for his work.[5] Named as one of the pupils of the botanist John Hope in the later's entry in the ODNB.
