Botanical Gardens in Mumbai - Bombay
About this blog
The Veermata Jijabai Bhosle Udyan / Rani Bagh or Zoo at Byculla is a superb heritage botanical garden, hosting several old and rare trees. It is worth at least a weekly visit for the serious plant lover. The municipal nursery at the back offers an excellent selection of unusual plants at reasonable prices.
The Bombay Port Trust botanical gardens [Sagar Upavan] are an oasis in the concrete jungle of Mumbai. Located in Colaba abutting the sea shore, close to the wholesale fish market of Sassoon Docks.
The Bhavans College campus at Andheri has a small but rich botanical garden and nursery with several rare species.
Maharashtra Nature Park - Mahim [with medicinal plant nursery], Aarey Nursery - Goregaon, Sanjay Gandhi National Park - Borivili are also good places to see and to study endemic flora.
