The botanical gardens of Lal Bagh, a beautiful
gift from Hyder Ali to the city, were built in
1760. Its 240 acres contain more than 1000
tropical and sub-tropical varieties of plants
and trees, some of which are extremely rare. It
also features the flower-bordered lawn clock,
just a few metres from the main entrance, and
elegant glass house modelled on London's Crystal
Palace. |
