Agri Horticultural Society of India, Botanical garden and heritage building in Alipore, India
The Agri Horticultural Society is a botanical garden in Alipore housing greenhouses, research facilities, and a specialized library for plant studies. The grounds spread across multiple acres and display diverse plant collections alongside research infrastructure for horticultural work.
The institution was founded in 1820 and marked the start of organized botanical research in Kolkata. It grew into a significant center for plant study and knowledge sharing across Eastern India.
The gardens serve as a meeting place where plant enthusiasts and gardeners gather to learn and share knowledge about horticulture. Local visitors often explore the collections to discover both familiar and unusual plant species grown in the region.
The gardens are open daily to visitors and offer guided tours and workshops on plant care techniques. Staff members are available to answer questions about cultivation and horticultural practices.
A rubber-coated walking path rings the main garden, letting visitors exercise while exploring plant collections. This combination of physical activity and botanical learning creates an unusual visitor experience.
