Summary:
“The botanical garden as well as the rose garden lack parking facility. A parking area is being developed at the rose garden at the cost of Rs 3crore,” Samraj said.The meadow garden will be developed without disturbing the terrain. “It will become one of best attractions in Ooty for tourists,” the official added.Besides the botanical garden and the rose garden, an arboretum and tourist spots like the Ooty Lake, Cairn Hill, shooting spot, Doddabetta and a garden developed by the Karnataka government are some of the other local tourist attractions. “The land is of different levels and the garden will be developed on all the levels. The main reason for developing the meadow garden is to divert the tourist crowd from the Government Botanical Garden and the Government Rose Garden, which are located within the town,” the official told TOI.The proposed garden will have ample space for parking, with a lot than can accommodate at least 300 cars and 50 buses at a time..
