The Christchurch Botanic Gardens inspires and educates visitors by showcasing flora and fauna of New Zealand and other parts of the world.
Founded in 1863 with the planting of an English Oak tree, the Gardens now features one of the finest collections of exotic and native plants found in New Zealand.
Towering majestic trees - many over 120 years old - dominate the Gardens, forming a striking backdrop to the extensive themed plant collections and sweeping lawns.
A loop of the gently-flowing Avon River, cris-crossed by bridges, encloses a large part of the Gardens while the adjacent 164 hectare Hagley Park enhances its natural splendour.
The Gardens is an oasis in the city of Christchurch - 21 hectares of beautiful horticultural displays, several conservatories, memorials, garden art and walking tracks.
The Gardens are open every day of the year and admission is free!
Winter Highlights: Annual bedding plant displays – a colourful variety of winter flowering plants.
Maple Border – fine display of flowering Lenten roses.
Fern House – an extensive collection of New Zealand ferns.
Heather Garden – spectacular winter flowering ericas.
Check out Jack Frosts icy but beautiful formations on a cold winters day.
