Over 50 chrysanthemum varieties in new garden

Kashmir’s famed floral charm has found a new season to shine. The Department of Floriculture, Gardens & Parks, Kashmir, has unveiled a Chrysanthemum Garden within the Nehru Memorial Botanical Garden, Srinagar, transforming autumn in the Valley into a spectacle of colour and fragrance.

Reports reaching Kashmir News Service (KNS) said that spread across five hectares, this newly developed garden hosts over 50 exquisite chrysanthemum varieties, boasting nearly 30 lakh vibrant blooms, a breathtaking sight at a time when most flowers fade with the onset of chill.

The project would be inaugurated by the Chief Minister on October 25 and on the same would be thrown open to visitors. The project was completed in record time despite multiple challenges.
