Sunder Nursery, New Delhi, India
Sunder Nursery is a 16th-century heritage park adjacent to the Humayun's tomb. It was initially known as Azim Bagh and was built by the Mughals. Today, Sunder Nursery contains 15 heritage monuments, of which 6 are UNESCO World Heritage sites. After renovations started in 2007, the nursery reopened as a heritage park on 21 Feb 2018. During British rule, the nursery was established to grow experimental plants, which gave it its current designation as a nursery. The "Sunder" part of the name comes from the Sunder Burj tomb. Although the name Sunder Nursery is still held, the park has been renamed Central Park after renovations. Apart from the historical aspect, restoring this place also created an environmentally beneficial ecology. This is Delhi's first Arboretum.
