Spread over an area of 240 acres, Lalbagh is situated in south Bengaluru and is built around a tower built by the founder of Bengaluru, Kempe Gowda. The most meticulous part of this garden's construction is perhaps its sophisticated watering system which irrigates over 1,000 species of flora including trees that are over 100 years old. The garden itself is a medley of lawns, flowerbeds, lotus pools and fountains. It also has a rock formation which is believed to be 3,000 million years old. There are four different entry ways to the gate. The northern gate provides easy access to the Glass House, while the southern gate is often considered to be the main gate as it opens up to the Lalbagh Road.

Even in the medieval times, the rulers imported plants from far-flung places like Persia, Cape Town, Kabul, Turkey, Mauritius etc. Exotic species from around the world are curated, introduced, acclimatised and further multiplied resulting in a stock of 1854 species which continues to grow.

Referred to as Rose or Cypress Garden up till 1856, this garden was commissioned by Haider Ali in 1760 who was a big admirer of Mughal Gardens and wanted to set up one in his own city as well. He was influenced by his father who used to work for Dilawar Khan, a viceroy of the Mughals and was especially passionate about setting up gardens. The garden is modelled on another one that existed in Sira which was situated 120 km away from Lalbagh. Over the years, many species of rare plants, trees and shrubs were added to Lalbagh and most of these were added by Tipu Sultan himself.The garden area stood at 45 acres in 1874 with major additions done in 1889 (30 acres) and 1891 (94 acres).
