Abstract

Ahmedabad is situated in Central Gujarat, it is a largest city of Gujarat state. It is located at 23.030 N 72.580 E spanning an area of 205 km2. Parimal garden, Law garden and gardens located in zoo of Kankariya are the major gardens of Ahmedabad city. The term ornamental plant is generally used in the horticultural trades. Ornamental plants are plants which are grown for display purposes, rather than functional ones. While some plants are both ornamental and functional, people usually use the term “ornamental plants” to refer the plants which have no value beyond being attractive, although many people feel that this is value enough. In Kankariya zoo there are numbers of plants growing in different gardens. Some of them are ornamental and some are of angiosperm. Present paper deals with ornamentally important plants found from gardens of Ahmedabad city.
