By now, all Chennaites have sort of grown used to the absence of the Drive-in Woodlands.But I wonder sometimes whether we will ever get used to it. Frankly, I still think of it and miss it a lot!
However, in its place. a new botanical garden is coming up fast.Nature lovers are in for a real treat!
Bamboo trees have already been planted near the compound wall opposite the American Consulate.Tress and pruned plants have also been planted, and a pond has been constructed. The garden will have the existing tree cover in place and also some exotic plants. Some rare plants will be housed in an exclusive place.
Separate enclosures are being constructed to house separate varieties- bonsai, herbs, and medicinal plants.
A cascade fountain, aroma garden, and a butterfly garden will also find a place here.
Seats will be constructed below the existing trees, and an amphitheater will also come up shortly.
A food court and a children's park will complete the picture.
The botanical garden is sure to become a family destination, ideal for an evening out.

I wish something is done about the land on which the old safari theater complex used to be located. It is an eyesore right now .
