Thurston Gardens, Botanical garden in central Suva, Fiji
The gardens contain large collections of palms, gingers, water lilies, and other tropical plants spread across multiple landscaped sections near Albert Park.
The site held the original town of Suva until 1843, when tribal conflicts led to its destruction, before becoming botanical gardens in 1913.
The Fiji Museum, established in 1955 within the gardens, preserves and displays artifacts representing the cultural heritage of the Fijian islands.
The gardens provide free entry throughout the year and feature wide pathways connecting the Clock Tower, bandstand, and multiple botanical exhibitions.
Underground drainage systems installed in 1913 support the growth of 101 royal palms and 39 tree ferns arranged in geometric patterns.
