During the Summer Annuals 2026 opening, visitors can see rare seasonal flowers and explore several garden attractions. A new highlight this season is the Babbling Brook, designed with a meandering stream, sculptural water spouts, stepping stones and a reflecting pool.

Other attractions include:

Bal Vatika, a garden specially curated for children
The story of a 225-year-old Sheesham tree
A treehouse
Nature’s Classroom
Bonsai Garden
Circular Garden
Vertical Garden
Diverse varieties of plants and other flora
Ongoing exhibitions
Food court and refreshment facilities
