Back in 2006 we hired a marquee there for a wedding function, I must say that this was my third visit to the gardens and I still found that the overall structure of the garden was still as impressive as the first time I saw it. However I did notice that the lawns and flower beds could have been better maintained but that's probably down to sheer economics of looking after a vast botanic collection where the focus of attention is on the specimen plants.
If my old hard drive gets successfully repaired I will dig out and post some pics of the event.

Mikhurram,you seem to have a rich library; can't be your own collection of 1950s,must be the family's. Great indeed & handy for such references.

I am glad Hamad that you enjoyed it. This could'd have been possible without your input.
Actually it is from my collection and is the result of the effort which began almost 25 years ago. I have almost all the issues of National Geographic from 1950 till the present day. Some of the issues also date back to 1920's as well.

Age is not important,but I know that you are much younger than him.That aside,it shows his dedication to his hobby/interest that he has collected & is preserving such old treasure of knowledge & can dig out the relevant issues/editions for our information.
