Dilkusha Bagh

Dilkusha Bagh is a botanic garden in Lahore, Pakistan. Believed to be founded sometime during the reign of the Mughal Dynasty, it is widely believed to be built by Empress Nur Jahan, and is one of Lahore's top tourist attractions.
The garden's living collections includes hundreds of extremely rare date cultivars, and some 13,000 taxa. Dilkshuka has its own police force and conservatory in effect since 1835. The Agriculture Department of Punjab has a dedicated operations wing for the preservation of Dilkusha Bagh, Shalimar Gardens, and other Mughal-era relics that survived the partition.
