Bangalore is aptly known as ‘Garden City’ which it deserves. There are many parks and gardens and every locality has it. Some are well maintained, some are not. But space is definitely available, allowing an opportunity to develop them.

Among the many renowned gardens, Lalbah stands at the top. The concept of this garden dates back to 1760 and later more and more lands were added to it. Now this botanical garden occupies 240 acres of land and is situated in the heart of the city. The Lal Bagh Botanical Garden is a must visit place and one can visit this garden any time of the year. But the Flower Show organized by the Horticultural Department twice a year is definitely an event one should not miss. Flower Show is organized for Independence Day and Republic Day. The event will go on for about 10-12 days prior to both these days and will conclude on the said days. Every year a theme is selected and flower arrangement is done accordingly.

It is not just flowers that attract the visitors. There are vegetables on the show, bonsai plants, and different varieties of flowers to mesmerize the visitors. The arrangement looks like a song in flowers and is beyond words.
