Indira Gandhi Memorial Botanical Garden
The Indira Gandhi Memorial Botanical Garden was established in 1986 to restore ecological balance and serve as a center for plant research. Spread over a vast area of 57 Hectares, with about 10 Hectares fully developed, it is a lush sanctuary on the northern bank of the Sai River. The garden is not just a park for recreation but an educational institution for scientists, students, and nature enthusiasts. It houses a diverse collection of medicinal plants, decorative flowers, and economic crops. The garden is meticulously divided into sections such as the Rock Garden, Rose Garden, and Aquatic Garden. A large statue of Smt. Indira Gandhi stands prominently within the premises, honoring her memory. The walking trails are lined with rare species of trees that provide a refreshing escape from the urban heat. It serves as a vital green lung for the Raebareli district. The presence of a greenhouse allows for the cultivation of delicate tropical species. It is a perfect spot for families to spend a quiet weekend while learning about biodiversity. The garden’s location along the highway makes it an easy stop for travelers passing through the region.
