Review:
The Christchurch Botanic Gardens is home to an array of beautifully preserved gardens and conservatories, New Zealand blooms and native trees, and exquisite flowering and fragrant herb gardens. Established in 1863, the arboretum began as a single English oak tree that was planted to celebrate the marriage of Prince Albert and Princess Alexandra of Denmark and has grown into one of the finest collections of exotic and native plants in the country. Other notable attractions in the park include the early 1900s Peacock Fountain, the original Curator’s House, which is now a casual restaurant serving light fare, and the Canterbury Earthquake National Memorial.
