About Botanical Garden
Established in 1920, The Botanical garden has been a part of glorious history of 101 years of The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda. The garden was established under the supervision and guidance of Prof. S. V. Shevade, F.I.S., F.R.A.S (HOD, Biology, Baroda College). It is spread over an area about 2.5 acres. The area of about 4.5 acres was given by the University for the Establishment of an Arboretum on the left side of University Head office. The Arboretum was established in 1962 under the supervision of Prof. A. R. Chavan, then HOD and the Superintendent of the Botanical Garden This garden has garnered over thousands of students of Plant Science to study the plant wealth present in this area since 1920. Because of many suitable environmental factors, garden displays a variety of life forms of its own in different seasons. This Botanical garden is a biological resource Centre that provides data storage, distribution, documentation, education interpretation and conservation. For a student of Plant Science, Botanical garden is a laboratory where students come in direct contact with live objects of their studies.
Today, The Botanical garden is the proud home of over 1,059 species inclusive of 680 Angiosperms, 281 Trees, 37 Cactus, 38 Succulents, 21 Orchids and 23 Pteridophytes.
