In order to bring awareness amidst students of the various categories of plants, the relevance of this festival celebrated by the Govt. along with renaming the gardens, the excursion proved to be a wholesome learning experience.
Students were thrilled to witness flowers in full bloom in the garden. They saw the ‘Herbal Garden’ which had many medicinal and aromatic plants. It was established by the late President Dr. Abdul Kalam. This was followed by a tour of the ‘Bonsai Garden,’ where many varieties of bonsai plants were shown along with the sharing the knowledge of creating a bonsai.
