The Garden
Known as the "Huddleston Gardens," the Theosophical Society garden lies on the south bank of the Adyar River and covers 260 acres. The garden has migratory birds, fruit bats, snakes, jackals, wild cats, mongooses, hares and a variety of spider. Trees include the rare mahogany and other trees from across the globe. The garden also has a 450-year-old banyan tree, known locally as Adyar aala maram, whose aerial roots cover some 60,000 sq m.

Famous quotes containing the word garden:
“The others “acted” a role; I was the role. She who was Mary Garden died that it might live. That was my genius ... and my sacrifice. It drained off so much of me that by comparison my private life was empty. I could not give myself completely twice.”
—Mary Garden (1874–1967)
“we know our end
A packet of worm-seed, a garden of spent tissues.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
