Thurston Gardens is located in central Suva, between Albert Park and the Government House.

Thurston Gardens are built on the site of the original town of Suva that was burned in 1843 in one of the bloodiest fights in Fiji's history.

The Fiji Museum, now occupies the building that was built in the Botanical Garden grounds in 1955.

Although many of the buildings and artifacts seem to be in need of attention the gardens are still regularly enjoyed by the people of Suva during the day.

Spread throughout the grounds are varieties of palms, gingers, water lilies and other local flora.
