LANDSCAPE AND HORTICULTURE UNIT

Integral to built environment is the development of green areas to enhance the aesthetic appearances as well as to provide an eco-friendly atmosphere/ ambience. To achieve this end four horticulture circles headed by Directors of Horticulture are located in Delhi. Mumbai and Kolkata. The units are further divided into division headed by Deputy Director of Horticulture. A large compliment of Malis and other staff is on regular payrolls of the department for maintaining the green areas.

The horticulture units maintain green areas not only in residential colonies developed by CPWD but also many ornamental garden such as Budha Jayanti Park, Mahavir Vanasthali etc. in the capital of the country. Landscape designs for these are developed in-house by CPWD Architects.

All floral arrangements for state functions held in prestigious locations such as Parliament House, PM House, PM Office, Hyderabad House, Vigyan Bhawan, Raj Ghat, Republic Day Celebration are done by the horticulture unit of CPWD.

The horticulture wing of the department is also responsible for preparation of the tableau of CPWD for participation in the Republic Day parade. Invariably this tableau is widely appreciated by all.
