The
National Botanical Garden is the largest plant conservation center in
Bangladesh, with an area of around 84 hectares (210 acres). It is located at
Mirpur in Dhaka, beside the Dhaka Zoo. It was established in 1961. It is one of the greatest botanical garden of
Bangladesh a knowledge center for nature lovers and botanists and a tourist
destination. Here is a scientific collection of approximately 100,000 preserved
specimens of plants. This is a very beautiful place for nature lovers. I spend one day 2 month back. It is treasure
in the city both for people seeking quiet green spaces and for all levels of botanies.
The
Sundari is one tree you will see in the garden. It commonly grows in mangroves,
through it is a fresh water loving tree. The Sal tree is another tall and
beautiful tree in the garden. It has broad leaves which in many places in South
Asia, are shed in the dry season of late winter-early spring. I also see some
magnolia flower. In this green ground have various known and unknown flowers
and fruits tree.
There
are clumps of towering bamboo in the garden as well and a cultivated section
which roses, marigolds, salvia, dahlias and other enormous flowers can be found
in the season. Best time to visit in winter. But any time of year the garden
has its own unique charms.
