Having been described over the years as the best-laid natural garden in Asia and a “Botanist's Paradise”, the over 150-year-old Government Botanical Garden (GBG) here is now in the process of getting its natural beauty enhanced artificially.
In keeping with a beautification plan drawn up by the Department of Horticulture and Plantation Crops under its Development of Parks and Gardens programme, four massive stone structures were brought to the GBG. Made in Mahabalipuram, the structures were look-alikes of a monkey, fish, elephant and a fountain.
The proposal to add new features like stone structures has evoked mixed reactions among various sections of society here.
