Preparations in full swing for opening of Asia’s largest Tulip garden in Srinagar
SRINAGAR, Mar 6 (PTI): Preparations are in full swing at Asia’s largest Tulip Garden, nestled between Dal Lake and Zabarwan Hills, ahead of its annual opening later this month, officials said on Thursday.
The garden, formerly known as Siraj Bagh, will be open to visitors later this month when the tulip bulbs start to bloom. The Floriculture department plants the tulip bulbs in a phased manner so that the flowers remain in the garden for a month or more.
Asif Ahmad, Assistant Floriculture Officer of the Tulip Garden, said the preparations for the garden’s opening this year were in full swing. “This is an important tourist attraction. It will be opened for visitors in the coming days,” he said.
