LalBagh
LalBagh
LalBagh has been given its name for the wonderfully bloomed red roses that remain blooming all through the year in this garden. John Cameron built the Lalbagh Glass House for displaying the flora, which was made of imported parts from England and was completed within just 12 hours of laying its foundation. The garden has also a collection of famous Botanical species. The present day Lalbagh was once a small fruit orchard during the times of Hyder Ali.
This garden is laid out in typical Mughal style with a separate plot for each kind of plant. The sprawling 240 acres of land has broad graveled walks and fountains. Its design was inspired by the Crystal Palace, London. Flower shows are held here every January and August, with an impressive participation. The garden gets a festive look during the Republic Day and on the days of flower shows that are held here
