Christchurch Botanic Gardens

Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt bildet die einheimische Pflanzenwelt von Neuseeland. Das sagt der Park über sich selber:

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.
