The Serene Botanical Garden is a publicly accessible urban green space occupying a formerly derelict site in central Ahmedabad. Commissioned by the Municipal Corporation, the project aimed to create a world-class botanical attraction that would serve multiple user groups — families, students, researchers, elderly residents, and nature enthusiasts — while significantly improving urban biodiversity and microclimate in a densely built neighbourhood.
Discuss a Similar ProjectThe site was severely contaminated from a former industrial use, requiring extensive soil remediation before any planting could begin. The design also needed to accommodate a very wide range of programme elements — curated botanical zones, a children's discovery garden, a research greenhouse, an events lawn, and multiple food and beverage nodes — while preserving a large existing banyan tree grove at the site's centre.
The banyan grove became the spiritual and organisational heart of the design. All pathways radiate from this central canopy, guiding visitors through a sequence of twelve distinct botanical zones — each representing a different plant ecology of Gujarat and western India. The contaminated soil was resolved through a combination of bioremediation planting and engineered soil replacement in critical zones.
