Established in 2000 the Botanical Gardens cover 50 acres and now have a collection of over 1,300 plant species displayed in a number of thematic gardens. We also have an herbarium, a plant nursery with 100,000 seedling capacity, and several facilities where we host workshops and trainings.
Environmental education programs run at the gardens for local school children and we have had over 50,000 children visiting us.
We implement eco restoration projects around South India, especially in old cement quarries where we restore the landscape using indigenous species.
