    Take some time out to celebrate the hues of Mother Nature and the fervor of the spring season Delhi Tourism in association with the Delhi Government is organizing the 35th edition of the Garden Tourism Festival (GTF) in the city at Garden of Five Senses, Saket. Showcasing the rich floriculture of Delhi, the festival will be held from Friday to Sunday (February 17-19).

    Heaven for anthophiles

    Over 300 different types of foreign plants and flowers will be on display in the garden in Said-Ul-Ajaib Village, near the Saket Metro station. Flowers such as roses, hibiscus, protea, Arabia coffee from the US, UK, and South Africa, as well as native lotus will be on display. The objective is to create awareness about the environment and illustrate Delhi's lavish floriculture.
