The garden currently has more than 700 species of flowering plants, local plants as well as plants from the Asia-Pacific and Africa regions. The area also serves as a research centre, with its multi-purpose collection. Kids will be delighted with the huge collection and exotic flowers, and educationists will be able to see many species of plants at the research centre. 

The landscaping includes a canopy bridge, a huge sundial, covered walkways, a lake boardwalk, gazebos and picnic shelters.
