| The picturesque house surrounded by colorful flowers |
The Fern House
in the Ooty Botanical Garden is home to many ferns and orchids. This house (established in 1894) is
dedicated to W.C. Mc. Ivor, in whose response the Garden has been developed to
this stage from the then a patch of vegetable garden and wilderness of Shola
and shrubs and the lower part as a swamp traversed by deep ravines.
Mr. Ivor who
had his training at the Royal Botanical Gardens, was able to transform the
steep slopes into walks and terraces, lawns and flower beds for growing choice
selection of plants. He also improvised ways and means by which he could
reclaim the lower part of the garden and converted into undulating and sloping
lawns with pockets of ponds left at convenient places to add chart to the
landscape.
