n 1854, Commissioner of Crown Lands Alfred Domett arrived at Ahuriri with instructions from the Colonial Secretary in Wellington to survey and prepare a plan for the yet un-named town of Napier.
In a letter accompanying his draft survey, Domett said he had set out various reserves to provide areas for a cemetery, police station, hospital, school and botanical garden.
In 1855, he recommended that 18 acres be set aside for a botanical garden and 4.5 acres for a cemetery. By 1874, when Napier was declared a borough, the Provincial Government had already established the Botanical Gardens.
Early caretakers, Burness and Burton began the task of landscaping and planting an unpromising site. The terrain was difficult, the budget was small and only prison labour was available to help develop the gardens. To combat droughts during those early years, use was made of the wells that were sunk in the lower gardens for the 65th Regiment.
Until Napier South was reclaimed, the gardens were the town's only public park. Little money and effort were invested in them through the two world wars and during the Depression. By 1960, they were in a sorry state, serving mainly as a shortcut up the hill to Napier Hospital.
In 1961, a duck pond and an aviary for 'free-flying' budgerigars were built as part of a programme aimed at improving the Botanical Gardens and boosting its popularity. The Napier City Council undertook a big clean-up and name-tagged specimen trees, many of which were, by then, approaching 100 years of age.
In 1970, the terracotta fountain in the upper area of garden was restored although more recently lost its upper tier to vandalism.
The gardens' historical features include the Military Track, which ran alongside the cemetery, the building site of the old sexton's cottage, the disused military well and pre-European Maori middens.

NAPIER, NEW ZEALAND: Centennial Gardens
These well-landscaped gardens were once a quarry manned by prison labour. The gardens were developed in 1974 to commemorate the centenary of the establishment of Napier as a borough and a city.
Water is another significant landscaping feature. From the lower pool, water is pumped to the main pool and then to the top of the cliff where it cascades in down the 40-metre rock face.
The gardens are only small, but are very nice.

Singapore Botanical Gardens - One of the best free sites of the world
The Singapore Botanic Gardens (Chinese: 新加坡植物园; Malay: Taman Botanik Singapura or Kebun Botani Singapura) is a 74-hectare[1] (183-acre) botanical garden in Singapore. It is the only botanic garden in the world that opens from 5 a.m. to 12 midnight every single day of the year, and does not charge an admission fee, except for the National Orchid Garden. The garden is bordered by Holland Road and Napier Road to the south, Cluny Road to the east, Tyersall Avenue and Cluny Park Road to the west and Bukit Timah Road to the North. The linear distance between the northern and southern ends is around 2.5 km (1.6 mi). In December 2012, an application for it to be listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site was made.

Things to See in NAPIER, New Zealand Sheep Farm l CRUISE VLOG l Ep. 19
It's a new day which means we are in Napier, New Zealand! At this point, you all know how much I love sheep so I just had to visit another sheep farm! LOL!
Though, the downtown area of Napier looks like it has enough to keep you busy if you are not planning on doing an excursion.
I booked my tour through Norwegian Cruise Line though most cruise lines offer this tour. It is called: HAWKES BAY COUNTRYSIDE and here is the tour description from NCL's website:
“Set on a large sheet station that has remained in the same family for generations, you’ll drive to Wool World, a well-established New Zealand brand for premium wool duvets and alpaca fur rugs. During your visit here you’ll find a farm display that includes demonstrations of shearing and sheep dog trails, as well as woolshed museum with displays of family history and mementos. Feel free to also take advantage of browsing the shop and finding high quality knitwear and some authentic New Zealand wool items available for purchase. You’ll be treated to Devonshire tea at one of the charming local cafés.
Travel to the summit of Te Mata Peak where you’ll find unmatched panoramic views over the Tuki Tuki River Valley and onwards to the cities of Napier and Hastings. During summer and autumn months the area is up to three degrees Celsius warmer during the day; making this area of Hawke’s Bay it’s most unique.”
As always, make sure to watch in HD for the best video quality! Hope you enjoy! :)
