Private Christchurch Garden Tour

Explore the garden city of Christchurch, and the surrounding areas by luxury
vehicle. We will discuss the factors that have shaped the city and discuss why
it is such an inviting place to visit and stay.

We head towards the Port Hills which overlook Christchurch and present
stunning views of the city, Canterbury Plains, Lyttelton Harbour and the
distant Southern Alps. After dropping into Lyttelton Harbour you will have
time explore a private Garden which has been growing since 1865 and include a
great variety of exotic trees, shrub rhododendrons, camellias and a good
variety of New Zealand native plants.

Head back towards Christchurch city stopping for a relaxing lunch, then visit
the Botanical gardens. Here you will see exotic trees that are some of the
largest, the tallest or the oldest of their kind in New Zealand. You will see
spectacular colour, intriguing sculptures, and memorial plantings that
celebrate local and international history.

Our hidden treasure is the Kate Sheppard house and garden.
