Page Rewrite

Hi - I intend to rewrite this page, as the garden page needs a nice work over, as it is a fantastic place. If anyone else is planning this, please reply here OffaWorldOrder (talk) 20:41, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

:{{re|OffaWorldOrder}} Good on you. This is probably one of the poorest Christchurch articles that is of importance. Examples of well-structured articles can be found at Sissinghurst Castle Garden, Auckland Botanic Gardens, and Kew Gardens (particularly the latter). I'm somewhat busy at present but am happy to look over your shoulder and assist, if you wish. Schwede66 22:43, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

::Thanks for the reply. Kew Gardens and Auckland are great places, I really like the Kew WP page, it would be nice to see the various facilities get mentioned and also have some nice photos. I'll just plan some things out, see what CCL photos there are and then maybe go and take some of my own if the weather is nice. I'm not that fast at wikipedia editing, so I imagine it will take a week or so. OffaWorldOrder (talk) 21:17, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

:::I am delayed, but I have started in my sandbox. Hoping to have a working version soon.OffaWorldOrder (talk) 02:41, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Rewrite published

I have published my changes, please let me know of any issues so that if I have made mistakes I can not make them again. I was hoping to find some summer images of the herbaceous border but could not.I hope the page can be improved further in time as more sources for history and exhibits can be sourced.OffaWorldOrder (talk) 21:52, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

:I shall have a close look but am busy for about three days to come. Great work. The second level headings aren't right (the should be proper headings and they should use sentence case). But the important thing is that there is now content that reflects the gardens' status. Well done! Schwede66 07:27, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

::Thank you for those kind comments, I'll look into the headings tonightOffaWorldOrder (talk) 03:53, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
