According to an Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) official, if all goes to plan, the work of the garden will begin soon after the monsoon, so that the plants can survive. Over 3,000 plants will be planted in the garden.

The authorities are pushing the plan of constructing the garden to beautify the whole area.

The varieties of bougainvillea grown in the park will be watermelon kiss, Wahid Alisha, Tambunan Beauty, Chitra Monduring, Poetry, Rosevalie Delight, Berries Blossom Butterfly, Blushing Bermuda, 21 Jewel Red, Golden Sunshine, and others.

According to the official, all the work of the garden will be done with the support of private NGOs and other agencies in getting plants free of cost. Additionally, he said if there are any issues in getting the plants, the authority will manage all the work on its own and the expected amount to be spent in the park is less than 8 lakh.
