It is likely that some of the world’s oldest gardens were made by the Indus Valley Civilization but, except for the ceremonial tanks at Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, no details survive. Therefore Pakistan’s historic gardens date from the Mughal period which also saw the design of India’s gardens.
Lawrence Gardens (Bagh-e-Jinnah)
The park surrounds a British building which houses the Jinnah Library. Sir John Lawrence was the first lieutenant governor and the gardens have a very famous cricket ground. A garden restoration programme was begun in 2002. It was originally a botanical garden modelled on Kew Gardens in London.
