Baldah Garden Dhaka

Today, I visited Baldah Garden, located in Wari, the capital of Dhaka. Baldah Garden is a very old garden. This naturally formed garden plays an important role in allowing the city dwellers to enjoy the wonderful beauty of nature. Today I will review that important naturally formed Baldah Garden and pin it to Steam-Atlas.

When reviewing the history of Baldah Garden, it is known that naturalist, social worker, and poet Narendra Narayan Roy Chowdhury was the landlord of Baldah Estate. He established the garden on his own property in 1909.
Chowdhury died in 1943. Until his death, he passionately enriched the garden with rare plant species from around the world. After the creation of Bangladesh in 1971, the Forest Department of the new government took over its responsibility. Most of its past glory has been restored by modernizing the civic amenities inside the garden.

The garden's collection is divided into seven categories: orchids, cacti, conservatory plants, aquatic plants, roses, rockery and wall plants, arboretum, and miscellaneous plants. The garden has about 15,000 plants representing 672 species of plants.
More than 50 plants have been collected from various countries, representing a diverse selection within the garden. Among the attractions of this garden is the 'century tree', which is believed to bloom once in a hundred years. It was also seen blooming a few years ago.

There is a rest house called Joy House in the garden to enjoy the beauty of the garden's flowers. Balda Garden was once bustling with the walks of many famous people. For example, the world poet Rabindranath Tagore composed many of his poems sitting in this garden. Among them, 'Camellia' is one of the poems.
To enjoy the beauty of Balda Garden, you have to enter. For this, you have to collect a ticket worth 30 taka per person. Then you have to enter through a security gate. The environment inside the garden is quite calm and peaceful. As soon as you enter the garden, you see a signboard that has a brief description of where the garden is and what items it has. There is also a map of the garden.
On the other side, there is another signboard with some important information about the garden. From where visitors coming here can know important information about Balda Garden.

The garden is a place of joy and entertainment. The city people come here to enjoy the taste of nature. Even then, some unscrupulous people stay here. The Balda Garden authorities are strict with them, and signboards have been hung at various places to warn them.
The Balda Garden authorities are determined to grow trees. For this, they plant new tree saplings and reserve a place for their intensive care.
There is a paved grave inside the Balda Garden. It is said that poet Narendra Narayan Roy Chowdhury is sleeping here. There are some valuable sayings there.
