Botanic Gardens
When was the last time you went through the Botanic Gardens? I wandered through the other day on the way to a hospital appointment and was reminded just how lucky we are to have such a gem in the heart of our city.
If you're keen to find out more, or get involved, the Friends of the Christchurch Botanic Gardens speaker this month is John Clemens; Manager
Conservation and Sustainable Development Curator at the Botanic Gardens
.
RAMBLING THROUGH THE GARDENS
John’s talk will be about how he grew up exploring the world from public footpaths. He says people
tend to recognise three types of path: they can engage in the formal procession, or take a stroll or
they may fancy a ramble. These different types of paths have been designed or accidently created
for centuries. He will show some examples, and then weather permitting take us on a walk in our
Botanic Gardens to see if we recognise them.
