Christchurch Botanic Gardens

Absolutely gorgeous place. I could spend all day in this garden and still not see everything. I went during summer and it was beautiful and I felt at peace! This is a must see place in Christchurch. The garden is divided into areas with plants from different regions. I hope to go back here some day!

It's a beautiful place to go for a walk. There's lots to see when wandering around, to see different fauna and flora. The rose garden and the dahlias were blooming beautifully. The plant houses and the fern house are great places to explore. The botanic garden is just near the city centre and free to visit. Car park and toilets available.

Absolutely beautiful gardens. Whilst following the river, we arrived at the Gardens, accidentally. It was free, so we went in and I highly recommend it. It was gorgeous and we saw so many types of birds. The central rose gardens was in full bloom, the greenhouse was gorgeous, and the overall place was so beautiful and perfect for a stroll on a sunny day.

The gardens are a nice mix of park, arboretum, a few sculptures, a stream, ponds and the greenhouses and a peacock-less fountain. The greenhouses were a treat with bright floral displays and some specialist areas. There are sculptures dotted around, and plenty of birdlife to spot.nnYou can spend a couple of hours wandering around.

A beautiful spot to wander around just outside of the centre of Christchurch. Full of constantly changing beds of flowers and a variety of indoor areas you'll almost always find something new.nnThe rose garden is particularly special and there's even a heritage rose garden hidden away on the other side of the Avon River. The fountains and statues throughout the park provide a widely varied experience and the New Zealand gardens can even provide you a glimpse of what the wild West Coast is like.
