Haven of peace and tranquillity in the heart of Christchurch, adjacent to Hagley Park. 21 hectares of gardens, flora, fauna, walking paths and conservatories, founded around a single oak tree.
The Christchurch Botanic Gardens were established in 1863, when an English Oak was planted in the grounds. Around that, has spring a myriad other trees, shrubs, tropical flowers, ponds, ornaments, memorials and horticultural displays that amaze and inspire everyone who sees them. The Avon River winds itself around the edge of the gardens, providing a natural perimeter that separates it from the equally beautiful Hagley Park, and visitors can stroll over the many pretty bridges that cross the numerous paths.
