Built at a cost of Rs 12 crore, the park would be a symbol of friendship between the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, Karnataka Horticulture Minister S S Mallikarjuna said while inaugurating it.
The park known as Fern Hill, is renamed as Karnataka Siri Horticulture Garden, the land for which was donated by the former Maharaja of Mysore, with an intention of helping farmers to grow potato, he said.
Some of the features of the garden are a glass house for temperate plants, topiary garden, small lakes of water, attractive Pallet, Italian gardens, he said.
Stating that Ooty (Udhagamandalam was known earlier) is a Dravidian region in line with Karnataka, he said that it was a true model for linguistic friendship.
