The Botanic Garden in Shibpur is a riverside garden in Howrah, founded in 1787. It sits on the west bank of the Hooghly, directly across the river from central Kolkata. The garden is best known for the Great Banyan, a tree that survives as a spreading canopy of aerial roots. Its original trunk was removed in 1925 after disease, and the tree has continued as a grove that reads as one organism. Visitors come for the trees, the birds and the open space. A half day covers the banyan, the palm house and the lakes. The garden is run as the Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Indian Botanic Garden, under the Botanical Survey of India, so it works as a scientific collection as much as a public park. Weekday mornings are the quietest. It closes on Mondays; check the Botanical Survey of India before travelling.
