The Karnataka Siri Horticulture Garden is a relatively new attraction, inaugurated in 2018. It was developed by the horticulture department of Karnataka on a sprawling 38-acre property that once belonged to the former king of Mysore.

The land was gifted to the Karnataka government by the Maharaja in 1964. For decades prior, it served as a parent potato garden. The garden was conceived with the ambitious goal of promoting decorative gardening and showcasing the rich flora and unique landscape design techniques characteristic of Karnataka, adapted to the Nilgiris' conditions.
