The Thurston Gardens, formerly known as the Suva Botanical Gardens, are situated on the site of the original Fijian town of Suva. Its former inhabitants had to move across the bay in the year 1882 after a devastating war. It was Sir John Bates Thurston (Governor of Fiji) along with John Horne (Director of Forests and Botanic Gardens in Mauritius) who came up with the idea of turning the land into a botanical garden. The transformation of the area, from a war affected zone to a beautiful botanical garden is admirable.
