Timaru Botanic Gardens

Established in 1864, these gardens are a restful place to while away an hour or two, with a pond, lush lawns, shady trees, a playground and vibrant floral displays. With luck you'll arrive during rhododendron or rose bloom time. Enter from Queen St, south of the city centre.
