“A Bit Too Civilised”
That the Christchurch Botanic Gardens were being made “a bit too civilised” was an opinion expressed by the chairman, Mr. C. Flavell, at a meeting of tlie Heathcole County Council, Christchurch. "I am afraid that outgardens will soon be like England with notices all over the place warning people to keep off the grass,” Ire said. “I think they are going too far and are growing too many flowers. We don’t want it till down in gardens. I think there is a distinct danger ol' taking away a lot of the beauty of the place.” Cr. F. W. Freeman said he thought the Domains Board was prob- ! ably faced with a labour difficulty.
