Parijat Nursery & Picnic Spot

Updated May 28, 2025

Description

Let me tell you about one of my favorite green escapes near the busy city – the Parijat Nursery & Picnic Spot. As someone who’s visited multiple times, I can say this place really grows on you (pun intended!). It’s this wonderful mix of a well-maintained plant nursery and a laid-back picnic area that gives you a perfect day out with nature.

The sprawling grounds feature an impressive collection of ornamental plants, flowering species, and saplings that’ll make any plant parent’s heart skip a beat. And boy, the variety! From tiny succulents to towering palms, they’ve got it all. What I particularly love is how the space seamlessly blends the commercial nursery aspect with recreational areas where families can spread out their picnic blankets and just… breathe.

Best Time to Visit

From my multiple visits, I’ve found that early mornings between 8 AM and 11 AM are just perfect. The temperature’s comfortable, and you get to see the plants at their freshest – especially after they’ve been watered! If you’re planning a picnic, winter months (November to February) are ideal. The weather’s pleasant, and you can spend hours outdoors without breaking a sweat.

Weekdays are relatively quieter compared to weekends. But if you’re like me and weekend’s your only option, try reaching before 10 AM to avoid the crowd. And hey, during monsoon season, the whole place comes alive with an extra touch of green – just remember to carry an umbrella!

How to Get There

Getting to Parijat Nursery isn’t complicated at all. If you’re driving, you’ll find it easily accessible from the main road, with clear signage leading the way. For those using public transport, several local buses stop nearby, and auto-rickshaws are readily available from the nearest landmarks.

I usually prefer booking a cab through ride-hailing apps – it’s hassle-free and drops you right at the entrance. Just make sure to save the location on your map app because some drivers might need guidance through the last stretch.

Tips for Visiting

Alright, let me share some insider tips that’ll make your visit even better. First off, carry your own picnic mat – trust me on this one! While they do have some basic seating, nothing beats spreading out your own comfortable setup under a shady tree.

Pack plenty of water and snacks. Yes, there’s a canteen, but it’s basic and can get crowded during peak hours. I learned this the hard way on my first visit! If you’re planning to buy plants (which you probably will – they’re so tempting), bring some carry bags or boxes. The nursery provides basic packaging, but having your own means safer transport.

Wear comfortable shoes because you’ll do quite a bit of walking. And don’t forget your camera – the place is super Instagram-worthy, especially during flowering seasons. Oh, and if you’re serious about buying plants, bring cash. While they do accept digital payments, sometimes the network can be iffy.

Keep an eye on your kids near the pond area – it’s not very deep, but better safe than sorry! Lastly, if you’re interested in specific plants, try visiting during spring when they have the maximum variety. The staff is pretty knowledgeable about plant care, so don’t hesitate to ask questions. They’ve helped me save quite a few of my plant babies!
