Shakespearean Garden

Illustrating the love of literature in Dunedin is the Elizabethan style Knot Garden planted out in 1934 using Box (Buxus sempervirens), at the Dunedin Botanic Garden. One of Dunedin’s best kept secrets, this garden is a replica of the one in Shakespeare’s own garden at his property in Stratford on Avon.  In recognition of this great literary master, a performance is often held in the Knot Garden on Shakespeare's birthday April 23.
