The gardens are close to the city centre and we'll worth a visit. The area covered is vast, and the Avon river runs around the park. It has an excellent rose garden, the roses were in full bloom when…Full review by philip O

I am bringing a group of 45 late 70's early 80's folks to Christchurch the first week of May 2020. We only have a quick afternoon there. Can I squeeze Botanical Gardens. Quake City and Cathedral Square stops in. Am i choosing the right things for this time of year? Wondering if the Botanical Gardens will be worth it? Paul in Iowa, USA.

Botanic gardens took me a full day. But if you want to have a nice lunch there is a nice cafe in the middle. And the heritage rose garden is beautiful. You could do it quicker than we did - but it’s worth it. Cathedral square is literally the courtyard of a church, so it doesn’t take long. If you go to the gardens is might be worth having a look at the old University. It is a beautiful old building with cafes now, right across from the gardens.
