Christchurch's Botanical Gardens

February 18, 1992

We then arrived at the Canterbury Botanical Gardens and Museum, which are near to and partially housed in the old University of Canterbury campus buildings. We were told that most of the University has moved to a much larger modern campus, which we later saw.

We were given time to walk around the gardens and tour the museum. I found the gardens more interesting, and found lots of people relaxing and having a good time among the trees, flower beds, and grassy, well-mowed fields.
