Sunder Nursery, known as Azim Bagh in Mughal times, was established in the early 20th century when the Imperial Delhi complex was being planned and constructed. Under 10% of was Sundar Nursery, was utilized as an active nursery at the onset of the project. Portions of land used for dumping construction rubble have now been converted into micro-habitat zones to showcase Delhi’s diverse ecology for educational and recreational purposes. To streamline nursery functions over 20 acres remain for nursery functions operated by CPWD, with nine acres of nursery beds, accessible by the newly laid out peripheral road, have been prepared at the northern edge of the nursery.
