A Pause in Paradise: Botanical Garden Restriction is in place for the coming days
In the heart of Ooty, where the pleasent weather and nature’s symphony welcomes visitors to the enchanting lush green Botanical Garden, there now lies a temporary hush.
The lush green grounds, once echoing with laughter, screams of joy, a scene of smartphone selfies and the pitter-patter of playful footsteps, have taken a pause for the next 10 days, approximately.
This information is as on 7th March 2024.
As we were exploring the scenic beauty of Botanical Garden, we saw that the grounds are empty, the seats vacant and signs telling to not enter the grounds were displayed. We wondered because last time we came it was bustling with excitement.
Boys will be boys. Some boys jumped the low fence to capture photographs in the backdrop of a tree. The staff on guard requested them to get off the ground.
Curiosity led me to inquire about this unexpected interlude.
The staff member shared that the decision to halt visitors from accessing the lush green grass grounds was rooted in safety. Though specifics were not unveiled, it was clear that a cautious approach had been taken to ensure the well-being of all who cherish the serene sanctuary. Maybe the green grounds are going through some treatment.
While the grassy meadows are temporarily off-limits, visitors are still allowed to wander through the enchanting Botanical Garden, enjoy and soak in the mesmerizing scenery.
The vibrant flora, shaded pathways, and blooming flowers that cover the landscape always await exploration of nature lovers that flock to the beautiful hill station, Ooty offering them a sense of solace and connection with nature.
While the reason behind this decision remains veiled, the air carries a sense of anticipation.
Perhaps it’s a chance for the botanical grounds to unfold undisturbed. Whatever the cause, the pause invites reflection, urging us to appreciate the delicate balance between preserving the beauty of nature and ensuring the safety of those who cherish it.
The gates remain open for visitors to explore the curated sections of the garden.
They can visit the garden from 7 AM to 6:30 PM. Kindly check the actual timing during your visit.
After a temporary pause hopefully the day is not far when the lush green grass grounds will once again be accessible, inviting everyone to bask in the evergreen charm of Ooty’s beloved botanical oasis.
Until then, the tranquil grounds whisper tales of resilience, reminding the visitors walking on the pathway that even in stillness and off-limits nature’s beauty remains undiminished.
