Ornamental Horticulture

The Bryant Park, Kodaikanal (Tamil Nadu)

The park has a total area of 10 hectares. The park was actually laid out in 1909, but it suffered due to the lack of trained personnel and funds until 1961 when it was taken over by the Horticultural Department of Tamil Nadu government and development work started in right earnest. The park has terrace gardens, lawns, children’s parks, a sunken garden, besides a good collection of roses, chrysanthemums, trees and shrubs. The park is a centre for supplying ornamental plants.
