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.
