The Government Gardens at Rotorua have been developed since 1881 - an ambitious undertaking that transformed a scrub covered geothermal area into an oasis of Edwardian charm. The gardens were also treated like a botanic garden in the early days, a place to educate visitors about plants, particularly native species. Some fine old trees survive from that early date, notably some multi-trunked Japanese firs and an unusual weeping Californian redwood.
