What a flowery indulgence - dressing up a flower-patterned skirt, sitting back on a flower-decorated chair, moistening lips from a floralized teaset, accompanied by a sweet flower muffin. It is more than an afternoon tea in Christchurch Cathedral Square.

Not all beautiful things are useful. On the contrary, some of them are harmful. Poisonous Plants display in the Botanic Gardens is a great education opportunity to have a look at both unusual and very common plants that are poisonous to both humans and animals. Doctor Nightshade, Belladonna and Dwale also present the twisted tale of poisonous plants, death and murder at the Deadly Night Show, 10pm and midnight.
