The wonder of ethnic plants and trees

If you are a nature enthusiast you will really enjoy a visit to the Ooty Botanical Gardens, located on the slopes of Doddabetta Peak. Established in 1848 in Ooty, Tamil Nadu, the gardens house a huge variety of plants, including exotic and indigenous species, rare ferns, orchids, and a 20-million-year-old fossilised tree. Spread across 55 acres, the gardens have separate sections, including nurseries, a conservatory, an Italian-style garden (laid down by Italian prisoners-of-war from the First World War). Strolling through them is a truly heavenly experience!

Annual Flower Show at the Gardens

One of the highlights of the Ooty Botanical Gardens is the annual flower show, held as a part of the Summer Festival in Ooty, in the month of May. You must join the large crowds who come to admire beautiful flower displays, intricate arrangements, and exotic blooms. The flower show is a visual feast and you will love the variety of floral sculptures on show. It’s a lively event where the beauty of Ooty’s natural surroundings comes alive with all the colours, fragrance, and artistry.
