Located in the heart of Delhi, the humble Sunder Nursery nearby Humayun’s Tomb often goes ignored. At one time, it was called the Azim Bagh – containing some of the native and rare plant species of the Capital. Soon, it was rechristened Sunder Nursery and the British used it to experiment with different plant species to put them on roadsides as well as Lutyen’s Delhi.
Today, the nursery may not be living that glory but it will soon be developed into a miniature ecological park displaying different micro-habitats. The Central Public Works Department (CPWD) and the Aga Khan Trust, a private historical conservation group are jointly developing Sunder Nursery to be one of the few such parks in the region.

Having, in the past, bought seedlings from Sunder Nursery, which is quite a
‘landmark’ for old Delhi-ites, we were delighted to hear of this initiative.
Thank you, Aga Khan Trust, for preserving this, and other landmarks…
thereby preseving not only the visible, but also the ‘invisible…Memories!
