   Go at night it is the amazing entrance to Christchurch botanical gardens. If you come during the sunny hours the water fountain will sparkle in all the different colours of the rainbow. Unfortunately no one throws money in there so no extra income for me. Water pressure also not strong enough to take a coherent shower and I got soap in my eye.

   Beautiful restful sound of the fountain. Lovely and amazing botanical garden that surrounds it. Well maintained lawn iivites you to basque in its beauty. To top it all. The Punting experience that highlights my visit. Sitting in the very comfortable boat. Listening to the chatter of the cicadas as well as the bustle of Christchurch metropolis. I also love Listening to the boatman reminisce the history of the place and people of Christchurch with the local passengers.

   One of the many interesting things to see at the Christchurch Botanic Garden is the Peacock Fountain, an ornate Edwardian style fountain purchased with the bequeathed sums of pioneer and honourable John Peacock in 1911. After nearly a half a century being left in storage due to deterioration, the fountain was refurbished and installed at its present location near the Rolleston Avenue entrance to the garden in 1996. This is how you see the Peacock Fountain today. The fountain spouts water upward, spilling into two levels of decorative basins and finally into a large pool. Additional smaller spouts send water outward from the from the levelled basins into the pool below. Amongst other ornamentation, there are white cranes decorating the fountain and four dolphins holding up the base. In the end, the Peacock Fountain a colourful and attractive fountain worth spending a few minutes to enjoy while taking in the various sights within the Christchurch Botanic Garden.
