The tulip garden is spread over 450 kanals of land and is situated along the banks of the famous Dal lake and at the foothills of the Zabarwan mountain range.

"This year the garden will have 17 lakh tulips of 74 varieties including two new ones. The tulips will provide a new and more picturesque look to the garden," said assistant floriculture officer (AFO) Tulip Garden Asif Ahmad.

Over 100 gardeners including casual labourers are busy preparing the flower carpet for over a month's show.

"It takes 11 months of hard work to prepare the garden for the month-long Tulip show. Different processes and works take place during different seasons," said a gardener.
