In 1997 the restored turquoise-and-yellow Peacock Fountain (named after the Honourable John Peacock who gave it to the city in 1906, not after any birds on it) was located among the bedding display. Originally sited at the east end of the Archery Lawn, it was dismantled in 1949 because of deterioration and high maintenance costs. In 1996 it was restored to it former glory and was officially re-opened the following year in its new location just inside the main gate on Rolleston Avenue. The building in the background is the Canterbury Museum.
