The Botanical Garden in Pondicherry is a beautifully maintained green space located near the heart of the city.
Established during the French colonial period in 1826, it spans over 22 acres and is divided into several sections,
including a French-style garden, a rock garden, and a section dedicated to exotic and medicinal plants.
The garden provides a peaceful escape from the bustling city, making it a popular spot for nature lovers, families, and tourists.

The garden is home to a diverse collection of plants, including flowering trees, ornamental shrubs, medicinal herbs,
and rare species from around the world. Visitors can explore themed areas such as the Italian Garden, the Fountain,
and the Sculpture Garden, which showcase the harmonious blend of French landscaping and local flora. The neatly arranged
pathways, shaded benches, and lush greenery make it ideal for leisurely walks and photography.

Today, the Botanical Garden is not only a tourist attraction but also a center for environmental education and conservation.
Schools, researchers, and plant enthusiasts frequently visit to study the rich biodiversity and learn about sustainable
horticulture practices. With its scenic beauty, historical significance, and educational value, the Botanical Garden
remains one of Pondicherry’s most cherished green spaces.
