Peradeniya Botanical Gardens

The Floral Pride of Sri Lanka

Less than four miles from Kandy, the site occupies a loop of the river Mahaweli. The park originally served as garden for the nobility of the Kandyan court. Lately, soon after British occupation, the area was transformed into a botanical garden with a great variety of local and foreign tree and plant species.
From the Park entrance the Royal Palm Avenue, bisects the gardens, heading to the Mahaweli Ganga at the far northern end, crossing on the way the Great Circle at the centre. On the right, near the entrance there is the interesting orchid house. To the west of the avenue stretches the Great Lawn with a huge Javan fig whose sprawling roots and branches create a remarkable natural pavilion.

At its northern end, Royal Palm Avenue is lined with beautiful cannon ball trees from which hang the characteristically large, round fruits, after which the tree is named. The Sinhalese hold their beautiful flowers sacred, since they appear to comprise a tiny dagoba, shaded by a cobra’s hood and surrounded by tiny florettes, which are thought to represent the crowd of worshippers.

Beyond here, Royal Palm Avenue curves following the bank of the Mahaweli Ganga; Running along the southern side of the Great Lawn the pines avenue (from Queensland) (they are actually broadleaved trees, not pines) the trees here are home to an enormous populations of large bats, which hang in clusters from the branches overhead. South of the Great Lawn lies a small but picturesque lake, covered in water lilies and overlooked by a classical rotunda and an enormous clump of giant bamboo. Nearby a didactic little area of carefully laid out medicinal and aquatic plants, plus various types of grass. Next to these is a line of ‘talipot palm’ with their enormous leaves used to construct shelters and ‘ola’ leaf, the local alternative to paper, which was manufactured in Sri Lanka and India from as early as 500 BC.
