In continuation to our discovery mode, after exploring the water world of numerous beachees when this city offered us an opportunity to experience the green cover of a botanical wonder ,it was totally irresistible by all means. A chance to be among trees and plants and visualize their richness was an excellent plan as we set on this unusual yet amazing date. From small potted plants to big, huge trees; from colorful flowers to variety of fruits; there was so much to see, learn and explore!
Spread across huge
stretches of land, on the outskirts of the city, this botanical garden is a
famous tourist attraction as people get to connect with the greener shade of
nature. With round-the-clock maintenance and flawless management, it has been
able to open its gate to nature-lovers for many years now.
Developed with an
initiative to attract people towards natural wonders, this garden has been
successful in doing so with its menu of diverse species. Drawing enthusiasts of
all age groups, the layout of this garden ensures to offer a memorable
experience to each one. Popular among both the localities and tourists, this
nature park certainly enjoys the undivided attention of its loyal patrons.
As we entered this botanical garden on a hot, sunny
day, an immediate transition from the scorching heat to a cool shade announced
our arrival. Welcomed with an information brochure and guide map, the adventure
was set to begin!
While I always claimed to possess good knowledge about trees and plants, this
visit posed as an excellent opportunity for my husband, as he was totally eager
to evaluate and rate it! Boards displaying botanical and common name of every
plant along with their brief description came to my rescue as I began to regain
my lost botanical memory. This piece of information was beneficial for every
visitor as interesting, unknown facts about common trees and plants entered
into their knowledge base. Besides the usual trees growing all around,sight of
exotic varieties and rare species transformed it into a novel experience.
During a long walk
inside this botanical land, the only thought that kept crossing my mind was
about the numerous type of plants and trees existing in our world. Variety of
leaves, flowers, fruits, stems besides their adaptive modifications for
survival and growth truly demonstrate the power of nature. With numerous
options in appearance and function, these green friends shower us with endless
benefits.
Due to systematic
arrangement and thoughtful planning, there was enough room to grow and maintain
these innumerable species. Demarcation of the garden into different zones
provided space for all. Separate zones of evergreen trees, rainforest
varieties, temperate plants, tropical species was beneficial as it made it easy
to understand their unique characteristics.
Along with local and native species that belong to the land of this
region, many plants and trees from various parts of the world were maintained
in an excellent manner. With information about their place of origin, type of
climate, nature of soil and significance, the efforts of growing plants from
far and wide brought global experience within few acres of land. It was
exciting to look at a mango tree and a bamboo variety wearing the proud badge
of our homeland. Viewing unique plants belonging to different continents and
countries was indeed a valuable lesson for us.
Gardens based on the theme of water, terraces, rocks or indoor styles gave
insight into the field of horticulture. Artificially created water bodies with
floating plants and flowers added beauty and charm to the
location. Arrangement of rain water harvesting and sprinklers took care of
the water requirement of plants. In an attempt to entertain the kids, a
‘child-special garden’ with swings, slides, toys, tree-houses did the job of
keeping them occupied. Activities like painting, drawing and clay modeling
based on the backdrop of nature worked to inspire and educate.
Built with a great
design and motive of getting people close to nature, this botanical garden
helped us to admire and enjoy the beauty of greenery. It made us wonder about
the selfless nature of this aspect of nature highlighting the need of its protection
They are required all around us as companions on the planet. Before we rush in
to reduce this green cover under the name of development, we need to realize
their role as our partners on earth.
A fantastic date by
all means, these green mates won our hearts with their freshness, beauty,
colors and variety! Looking forward to many such moments with nature as there
is something exciting and novel always. No matter how many innovations we
create around us, it is impossible to imitate the wonders of this creation.
Think about your own
experiences with nature, I am sure many stories are eager to crop out !
true indeed...
