Lloyd Botanical Garden:
“A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust.”
Lloyd’s Botanical Garden is a ‘one of its kinds’ botanical garden spread in about 40 acres of land. This botanical garden shelters several endangered and exotic species of fauna. The aim of Lloyd’s Botanical Garden is to preserve the native floral species of Darjeeling Himalayan hill region, Sikkim and its neighbouring regions. It is also home to several exotic varieties of flora.
The varieties of flora in Lloyd’s Botanical Garden are a naturalist’s delight. Anyone who is a nature lover will certainly fall in love with this place. Its collection boasts of alpine plants, arum lilies, geraniums, spectacular azaleas, tree ferns and conifers from Europe, apart from hawthorn, blackberry, broom, horse, chestnut, ash, birch and lilac from China and Japan. The cryptomerias, plums, cherries, magnolias and maples weeping willows and deodars from Africa and Bulbon plants and cypress from America are other attractive varieties here. The Botanical Gardens of Darjeeling is located just below the Eden Sanatorium and one can approach it through the Victoria Road as well.
The Botanical Garden is named after William Lloyd, the owner of the Lloyd’s Bank during the British India days. He gifted this sprawling 40 acres of area on an open hill slope to Sir Ashley Eden, the secretary to the Government of Bengal. The hospital ‘Eden Sanatorium’ is named after him which is located just above the garden. The Botanical Garden was laid out under the supervision of the superintendent of the garden, Sir George King. It was designed in three sections. The upper section consists of the various indigenous Himalayan plantations. The garden started from here to study the flora of Darjeeling Himalayan region.
The Middle section has a large variety of fern and conifer trees along with Alpine. There is a separate greenhouse here that shelters varieties of Cactus displaying some 150 species. Another point of attraction here is the Orchidarium that has about 2,500 orchids on display showcasing around 50 varieties. There is also a Rock Garden in the Lloyd’s Botanical Garden of Darjeeling.
The lower section is filled with colourful exotic plants that were brought from various countries across the globe. One of the most striking of all is the Weeping Willow which is named because of its drooping branches and leaves that gives a ‘falling’ or a ‘weeping’ impression. Another unique attraction here is the living fossil trees that have been brought from China. It has a Student’s Section which has Sikkim Himalayan plantation and a Medicinal Garden. In this region, different types of medicinal plants collected from the Eastern Himalayan Region can be seen.
