A beautiful thing is a joy forever and ifit is an enchanting garden with colorful flowers with a background of healing and the color green in different hues – then it is a source of peace, tranquility and happiness.With theses ideas in mind Garden Tourism Festival, annual festival is organized by Delhi Tourism to create a platform for garden lovers to meet , interact and showcase their fruit of labor .
