Chhatrapati Sambhaji Garden, situated at Jungli Maharaj Road in Pune is normally visited by the love lorn couples and unemployed youths. Now it is brimming with flowers and various kinds of vegetables. This feast of colour and aroma will continue for two days. Pune Municipal Corporation is holding an exhibition of flowers and vegetables in the garden. What is more, there are various models of gardens placed in the exhibition. Some of these gardens, like Mughal Garden are being developed in Pune itself.
The exhibition is being organised on the occasion of PMC's anniversary. It will be open for public till Sunday. I visited the garden in the evening and was amazed by the sheer variety of flowers. There are Delia, Orchid, Jarbera as also Rose, the perpetual favorite. Even in roses, there is quite a variety.
I was also pleased to see that there is a good bit of flower decoration in front of Ram Ganesh Gadkari statue. The Marathi literatuer, famous for his rich prose and dramas rich with rhetoric was always famous for praising the beauty. He is known as the poet of Love, premacha shahir, for his poetry advocating love. What could have been a better gift for him than the valentine's Day.
