The flora and blossoms: The main attraction of the Company Garden is its vast variety of flora. The lush green carpeted lawn of the Company Gardens is covered with more than 800 types of flowering plants, and during the late spring till the end of monsoon, most of these flowers are in bloom - making the place look like the heaven's garden.

The green lawn: The lawn with a fountain in the middle offers a perfect place to have a little picnic with your friends and families. The heart of the garden is the gigantic China tree which offers a lovely shade during the days the sun shines real bright. The garden of flowers surrounds the lawn and makes this a beautiful place to sit or stroll in the afternoon breeze as well. The garden is the main place to enjoy a leisurely time with your company. It not only offers a picture-perfect ambience to relax but also a stunning view of the hills around. The flower shrubs work as brilliant background for photographs.

There is a greenhouse nursery from where you can purchase smaller versions of the flowers you saw out in the garden in little tubs and pots to bring home. It will be a great addition to your balcony garden as well as stay as a souvenir of your visit.

Rides and amusement park: There is an amusement park inside the Company Garden to keep your tiny tots busy. There are various rides which are safe but exciting enough for you to enjoy with your children.

The lake, waterfalls and boating: There is a man-made lake inside with an artificial waterfall that adds to the beauty and aesthetics of the whole place. You can do paddle boating in the lake.
