Thurston Gardens
Suva's botanical garden, with tropical plants and a clock tower surrounding the Fiji Museum. It's a good place for a stroll after a visit to the museum.
Thurston Gardens was founded in 1913 as the Suva Botanic Garden and is named after Thurston, Fiji's first colonial governor. The garden contains a wealth of native South Pacific and tropical plants, a water lily pond and ancient rain trees. The white clock tower in the garden is one of the city's landmarks. The garden borders the Fiji Museum, the Government Buildings and Government House. Free admission; it can be a stop on the city-center walking route.
