If Karnataka and Tamil Nadu have been fighting with each other over Cauvery waters, they have come together to establish 'Karnataka Siri Horticulture Garden’, Fern Hill, the second largest public garden in Ootacamund (Ooty) which is known for its wealth of Gardens and Parks. The Park, a gift of the Wadiyars of Mysore, has come as a new-era tourist attraction and paves way for inter-State co-operation through tourism. Read on and walk through the Garden with this Weekend Star Supplement and learn how Ferntastically (Fantastically) a mundane potato garden is being transformed into a green space rich with flowers, lakes and landscapes.
