Kia ora and welcome to the Christchurch Botanic Gardens.

The Christchurch Botanic Gardens is at the heart of the city's reputation as the Garden City. Our impressive collection of plants provides a tranquil oasis. From the spring drifts of daffodils, spectacular summer roses and herbaceous border, stunning autumn leaf display and cosy conservatories to warm up in over winter, there's something to delight in every season.

The New Zealand Garden also offers an accessible glimpse into the country’s unique wilderness to lose yourself in throughout the year.
