Botanic Gardens Christchurch

The Christchurch Botanic Gardens are well established and date back to 1863 when the first oak tree was planted. Well known features of the gardens include the Peacock Fountain, the rose garden and the hot houses. Displays in these conservatories range from orchids, to cacti, to ferns, to tropical plants. The rose garden is home to 104 beds and a profusion of climbing, standard and Hybrid Tea modern garden roses. The RiverAvon winds its way through the gardens and a pond attracts ducks and other birds. A tearoom offers refreshments and it’s the perfect place for a family outing or a romantic date. The gardens are open from 7am to 9pm.

  1. These photographs are beautiful. If you'll permit me to mention, some of them are formatted to a width greater than the width of your blog's text column. Just in case you'd care to make them a little narrower so that they don't overlap into the text and material in the right-side column. :-)
