Shakespeare and Martin Luther King to Swami Vivekananda and
Swaminarayan. Located at the Akshardham complex in Delhi, India


The Garden of Cosmic Speculation – Scotland


Open to the public only one day a year, the Garden of Cosmic Speculation
takes science and maths as its inspiration. Quite simply, there isn't
another garden like it in the world. It was set up in 1989 without the
usual ideas people have when they create a garden. Horticultural
displays very much take second place in this garden. Instead, it is
designed with ideas in mind - and to provoke thought (or at least
speculation) about the very nature of things.

Keukenhof Gardens – The Netherlands


An unprecedented wealth of spectacular floral displays planted in
endless varieties, alternated with beautiful works of art. Keukenhof is
unique, world famous and has been one of the most popular destinations
in the Netherlands. The garden is home to 7 million tulips, which
includes special hybrids that have been or are being developed. In fact,
Keukenhof's pride and joy is the truly awe-inspiring Russian black
tulip Baba Yaga.


Suan Nong Nooch – Thailand


This incredible park is situated in Pattaya, Thailand. It is popular
among tourists because of stunningly beautiful landscapes and marvellous
views. Everything there seems to be from a fairy-tale. It is full of
Thai style houses, villas, banquet halls, restaurants and swimming
pools. A vast 600 acres area was bought by Mr. Pisit and Mrs. Nongnooch
in 1954, this land was predicted to be a fruit plantation, but, Mrs.
Nongnooch made a trip abroad and came back with a firm decision to
create there a tropical garden of ornamental plants and flowers.

Versailles – France


Probably the world's most famous garden, it was built for Louis XIV and
designed by Andre Le Notre. The laying out of the gardens required
enormous work. Vast amounts of earth had to be shifted to lay out the
flower beds, the Orangerie, the fountains and the Canal, where
previously only woods, grasslands and marshes were. The earth was
transported in wheelbarrows, the trees were conveyed by cart from all
the provinces of France and thousands of men, sometimes whole regiments,
took part in this vast enterprise.

Jardim Botânico de Curitiba – Brazil

gardens in the French style in the midst of fountains may be seen, as
well as waterfalls and lakes, and the main greenhouse of 458 square
meters, which shelters in its interior, copies of characteristic plants
from tropical regions. It rolls out its carpet of flowers to the
visitor's right at the entrance

years ago. Built in traditional Chinese style with numerous rock and
tree garden areas, ponds, dragon-lined walls and numerous doorways and
zigzagging bridges separating the various garden areas and pavilions.In
the past over 400 years, Yuyuan was restored and reopened several times.
Because of the downfall of the Pan's family after Pan Yunduan's death,
Yuyuan was slowly out of use and was once in a mess. Although later the
garden was renovated by the local rich people, several civil wars in the
mid-19th century caused huge damage.

surrounded by a high brick wall, which is famous for its intricate
fretwork.
