“It is probable that the real reason for Bangalore earning its title of the Garden City
was not so much its formal gardens as the number of trees on both public and private
lands. With its low bungalows set in large grounds and overhung by trees, and with its
tree lined roads, an aerial view of the city would have been one of tree canopies with
very little building or road showing through.”
- Laeeq Futehally, House and Garden in Bangalore
Taking its cue from old Bangalore, The Gardens has attempted to duplicate
the tree canopy structure that brought such fame to the city. Spread over
a staggering 16.2 acres, The Gardens has been built in such a way that most
of the existing trees on the estate have been retained post construction. Thus,
green leafy trees of differing heights, beautiful flora and dense foliage
abound...and lovingly enfold you in their cool embrace.
