We believe
that a garden must be harmoniously arranged so that it is not just pleasing
to the eye but also convenient to access. As a result, the society embarked
on a scientific management of its estate. We have initiated a master
plan of the garden's zonal segregation in 1996-97 - into 13 zones with
18 sub areas based on parameters like topography, vegetation characteristics
and location.
Visitors
now find it easier to visit and view specific garden areas according
to its character and their choice. For instance, the G Block is reserved
for medicinal plants, K is earmarked for Japanese garden and in Q plants
have been placed at random and has aptly been named as "Abol Tabol"
after Sukumar Roy's famous nonsense verse.
Within
each block, tress are labeled - Red signposts for rare Trees, Blue for
the Uncommon and Green for those easily available. |
