Pune is all Set to Get More Gardens

Pune is out to rival Bangalore as the city of gardens. To the existing 60 developed by the PMC (Pune Municipal Corporation), the garden department plans to add another 30. Continuing with its credo of creating theme gardens, the department has chosen to create some around one continuing motif.

Theme Dream

  • A four-acre lake garden at a quarry in Maharshinagar which will include a jogging track and about 30 coconut trees which have been transplanted there.
  • Shyma Prasad Mukherjee garden near Patwardhan baug where trees have been planned according to nakshatra philosophy and a great number of climbers are to be added.
  • VD Vartak garden on Mutha river side near Omkareshwar. This three-acre longish garden will also have a jogging track.
  • The Pu La Deshpande garden being developed as a cultural point on Sinhagad road.
  • The erstwhile garbage depot at Kothrud is being developed into a garden of seven acres. Land has been levelled, a jogging track is being created and plantation will start in June.
  • The medicinal herb garden at Kondhwa where though the infrastracture is in, the planting will start this June.
An annual budget of Rs. 5 crore has been allocated in the current year for garden says garden suprintendent Yeshwant Khaire.
