The garden has over 1,000 species of flora. The Glass House, modeled on London's Crystal Palace (now re-modelled with a different layout), is the center of attraction.

The Lalbagh Gardens were commissioned during 18th century and over the years it acquired India's first lawn-clock and the subcontinent's largest collection of rare plants.
