Beverley Park Heritage Rose Garden
I’ve often driven past Beverley Park on Avonside Drive. It looks like a grassy park with a some trees in it – much like many of the local parks around Christchurch. So I had never actually stopped to have a look inside the park. But today, as you can see, I finally ventured past the tall trees and discovered the Heritage Rose Garden. I’d been informed about the rose garden by one one of my Facebook followers (thanks Graeme). So I decided it was high time I checked it out.
I think this garden is definitely a very ‘hidden gem’ of Christchurch. Maybe it won’t be quite so hidden now 
The local houses around the garden are all quite historic – lots of very cute cottages.
You can find the rose garden off Gilby St in Richmond (off Avonside Drive).

When I was young I never really was big on roses but with the years I now appreciate what mum saw in them. This is a beautiful garden and well worthy of a small detour. Heres wishing you both a Great New Year.
I love finding hidden gems like these, and often they will be near or at historic residences too just as around Christchurch. And like Paul, also wishing you and yours a Happy New Year!
Loving these summer photos too!
