About Botanical Garden

Botanical Garden, Ooty A Blossoming Haven in the Nilgiris.The Government Botanical Garden in Ooty is one of Tamil Nadu's most celebrated and historic attractions. Spanning over 55 acres on the lower slopes of the Doddabetta Peak, the garden was established in 1848 by the British and has since been a lush retreat for tourists, botanists, and nature lovers. Carefully maintained by the Horticulture Department of Tamil Nadu, the garden is divided into various sections such as the Lower Garden, New Garden, Italian Garden, Conservatory, Fountain Terrace, and Nurseries. This verdant space is home to over 650 species of plants and trees, including rare ferns, exotic orchids, medicinal herbs, and vibrant flower beds. A major highlight is the 20-million-year-old fossilized tree, a unique relic displayed within the garden. The Italian Garden, with its symmetrical design and colorful flowers, is a visual delight, while the glasshouse hosts seasonal floral shows that draw large crowds. Ideal for leisurely walks, photography, and picnics, the Botanical Garden also serves as a learning ground for plant enthusiasts. The pleasant climate and serene ambiance add to its charm, making it a must-visit destination in Ooty for all ages, especially during the blooming months of summer.
