About Government Botanical Gardens

The Government Botanical Gardens of Ooty, laid out IN 1848, are among the finest hill-station gardens IN India. Sprawled over 55 acres, they showcase an extraordinary variety of exotic AND native plants. The gardens are famous for their glasshouse, Italian-style terraces, a fossil tree trunk estimated to be millions of years old AND the spectacular annual flower show held every May. Rare tree ferns, flowering shrubs AND lawns provide endless delights. For every visitor to the Nilgiris, the Botanical Gardens are an essential AND uplifting experience, combining horticultural beauty with the crisp charm of the mountain air.
