The Queenstown Gardens, located next to the town of Queenstown, New Zealand is a botanical garden which contains a variety of exotic and native trees and plants as well as a large pond and a range of facilities. Some of the facilities in the Garden include Tennis, Lawn Bowls, Skating, Disc Golf and Ice Skating/Ice Hockey (See External Links). There is a variety of trails in the garden with views of the surrounding mountains and of ''Lake Wakatipu'' and the ''Frankton Arm'' as well as Queenstown itself. The most visible large tree species in the garden is that of the Douglas fir of which there are many large specimens. This tree also forms a protective forest that surrounds much of the gardens. There is also a Rose Garden just past the tennis court. ==Heritage Trees== The heritage trees planted by the first Mayor of Queenstown, J. W. Robertson, and protected in the gardens are: * Black Oak (Quercus velutina) * Red Oak (Quercus rubra) * Grand Fir (Abies grandis) * Algerian Fir (Abies nordmanniana) * Monkey Puzzle (Araucaria araucana) * Western Hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) * Wellingtonia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Queenstown Gardens」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
