It is a masterpiece of proper land utilization amalgamating the buildings and other permanent structures of the organization. These gardens are grouped under two main themes viz. Plants used in every day life and the plants of conservation concern. During 2002-2006 we have established 20 and several stand alone plants that will instill curiosity in the visitors mind.
