About the MSSBG - M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation
This Garden in 8 ha has been established to conserve and make available seed/planting materials of the local community use-specific and culture oriented plant species, as well as the “lost crops and species” of the plant genetic resources like jack and mango, roots and tubers, legumes, medicinal plants, and the diminishing NWFPs of the Western Ghats-a global biodiversity hotspot. It is also to serve as an educational and training facility for the children, youth, teachers and parents to know more about the native flora and learn the value of biodiversity and ecosystem services, and address the issues of man-animal conflicts.
