Though Bangalore is fast being converted into a concrete jungle, the Government is trying its best to provide the residents of Bangalore with greenery by continuous expansion of parks and gardens. Efforts are also made to make the gardens more and more eco-friendly. Some of the gardens have also banned the use of pesticides and fertilizers.

Endorsing some of the best and rarest varieties of greenery in the world, the parks and gardens of Bangalore are romantically landscaped with fountains and multicolored lights that form the major attractions. These parks and gardens also serve as favorite haunt for joggers, fitness enthusiasts and for walks. The gardens are equally popular among children, young people and the old alike.
