 The
climate of Kalimpong is ideal for the cultivations of horticultural
plants. Kalimpong is the only place where many commercial flower
nurseries are situated. One should visit the beautiful laid out
'Universal Nursery' about 3 km from the town, on the Kalimpong-Teesta
road to have a glimpse of the fabulous Cactus, Orchid, Amaryllis
(only in April and May), Succulents and many other flowers.
The other nurseries are also equally attractive. Sri Ganesh Mani
Pradhan Nursery at 12th Mile is specially renowned for its varieties
of orchids. If one is interested in Gladioli, you must meet Col.
Tulsi Pradhan, Murgi Hatta, below Motor Stand, Kalimpong. He is
an expert in Gladioli. If you are interested in Rose, Gerbera
and Dahlias you can visit Standard Nursery at Chibo Busty, Kalimpong,
